Your service could be eligible for CQC Return to Good
Based on your answers, your service appears to meet the main criteria for CQC’s Return to Good approach.
That means your next assessment could follow a more streamlined approach, covering fewer Quality Statements and placing greater focus on people’s experiences and outcomes.
CQC will ultimately decide which assessment approach applies to your service, but whatever comes next, being ready still matters.
What could Return to Good mean for your service?
Under Return to Good, CQC assesses 18 Quality Statements across Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led.
The approach is designed for eligible adult social care services with an aged Good rating where CQC expects that rating is likely to be maintained.
But a more focused assessment doesn’t mean there’s nothing to prepare for.
You still want confidence that good practice is happening consistently across your service, your evidence is up to date and your team understands what’s expected of them.
