Based on your answers, your service doesn’t appear to meet all of the current criteria for CQC’s Return to Good approach.
That means CQC may be more likely to assess your service through its usual assessment approach.
But knowing that now gives you something useful: a clearer idea of what to prepare for.
What does this mean for your service?
Whatever assessment approach CQC takes, being able to understand what’s expected, demonstrate good practice and identify areas that need attention remains important.
And preparation doesn’t have to start when you hear CQC is coming.
Regularly reviewing where your service stands can help you spot gaps earlier, keep evidence up to date and give your team greater confidence in the care they provide.
