Understanding Risk & Compliance in Health & Social Care

Is your organisation effectively managing risk and compliance?

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has identified inadequate risk management as a key factor in services rated as ‘Inadequate’. Many providers struggle to implement effective processes for assessing and mitigating risks, leading to serious safety failures, compliance breaches, and poor inspection outcomes. Without robust risk management, organisations face challenges in maintaining high-quality care and ensuring the safety of both patients and staff.

Join us to gain insights into effectively managing risks, ensuring legal compliance, and improving your CQC inspection outcomes.

Failure to manage risks effectively can lead to poor CQC ratings, regulatory breaches, reputational damage, and increased legal liabilities. The CQC highlights that poor risk management is a common factor in services receiving ‘Requires Improvement’ or ‘Inadequate’ ratings.
