Inspection Top Tips | ensuring compliance with the CQC's new Single Assessment Framework
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) recently announced plans to increase the frequency of assessments and inspections. On top of this, many providers still need help adjusting to the new way of inspecting services under the regulator’s Single Assessment Framework and quality statements.
Hosted by experts in CQC compliance and health and safety, this free one-hour webinar will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the CQC inspection framework, along with simple, practical steps you can implement immediately to prepare your service for upcoming inspections.
8 August, 11.00 - 12.00 pm
What's on the agenda?
The CQC’s new Single Assessment Framework has introduced significant changes, including ongoing assessments and a complex scoring system. This has made it challenging for providers to navigate regulatory requirements and maintain compliance.
Despite efforts to simplify the framework, many providers still find it resource-intensive and demanding, especially with the requirement for continuous monitoring and the need to provide evidence across multiple categories.
If you’re keen to ensure your service remains compliant and delivers high-quality care under the CQC’s new inspection regime, join our upcoming webinar for actionable tips and strategies aimed at helping you enhance your digital readiness, excel in focused onsite inspections, and proactively manage stakeholder feedback.
Over 60 minutes, Care 4 Quality’s Head of Inspections and Support, Robyn Drury, Quality Assurance and Clinical Lead, Steven Haddock, and WorkNest’s Senior Client Manager and Health & Safety Lead, Andy Hall, will provide expert advice on:
- Digital readiness: Discover the importance of keeping digital systems up-to-date and ensuring essential documents (trackers, audits, policies and procedures and governance documentation) are readily available to upload to the portal or for email.
- Focused onsite inspections: Get insights into what inspectors will look for during onsite visits, including staff practice, the environment and H&S. Plus, learn how to navigate the increased emphasis on observing staff and processes, with preparation tips to ensure your team is inspection-ready.
- Does compliance equal safety? True safety goes beyond mere compliance with regulations. Get a recap of the regulatory expectations and how to exceed them so that you can ensure a safe environment for staff and service users and achieve a gold standard in health and safety.
- Enhanced stakeholder feedback: With the CQC using online and telephone surveys to gather stakeholder feedback, we will explore the importance of routine feedback collection from your stakeholders to pre-empt potential issues.
