Mock Inspection Toolkit – Introduction

Mock Inspection Toolkit Mock Inspection Toolkit Region:

| Reference: MIG01

This policy has been fully updated and redeveloped to provide an overview of the revised Mock Inspection process for GPs. It fully supports the CQC inspection process and details how internal audit and assessment will prepare a Practice for a CQC site visit. It outlines how the Mock Inspection process supports quality assurance and drives improvement. Depending on the Practice’s level of confidence in the Mock Inspections, and how effectively they have been carried out, findings, action plans, improvements and monitoring of changes made (including stakeholder feedback) could be shared with the CQC Inspection Team to demonstrate how quality assurance is embedded in all activities.

Right to Work Checks Policy and Procedure

Human Resources Recruitment, Induction and Training Region:

| Reference: GPR16

This policy has had a name change to the ‘Right to Work Checks Policy and Procedure’ (previously known as Employment of Non-UK Citizens Policy and Procedure). The reason for this is to promote that Right to Work checks should be carried out on every prospective employee, not just non-UK citizens. The Policy has been updated to include reference to the fact that the new Online Right to Work Checking Service now gives employers a statutory defence to any illegal working should they have followed it fully and completely.
