Inspection and registration of care services

All care providers have to be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) this covers all adult social care, independent healthcare and the NHS into a single set of essential standards of quality and safety.

All inspections are unannounced and services are inspected every year. After an inspection, the service is given a report of how it rates against key lines of enquiry.

CQC ask the same five questions of all the services they inspect.

  •  Are they safe?
  •  Are they effective?
  •  Are they caring?
  •  Are they responsive to people’s needs?
  •  Are they well-led?

You can find a list of service reports on the CQC website at www.cqc.org.uk

CQC Ratings

By law, care providers have to display the ratings CQC give them. They must display them in the places where they provide care, somewhere that people who use their services can easily see them.

They must also show their ratings on their website, if they have one.

CQC Ratings explained:

Outstanding

Good

The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.

Requires Improvement

The service isn’t performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.

Inadequate
