Regulatory Guidance
CQC
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) uses a set of fundamental standards to assess and rate adult social care and NHS services in England. These standards represent the legal minimum providers must meet and are based on five key questions: Safe, Effective, Responsive, Caring, and Well-Led. Each question is aligned with relevant quality statements for scoring. These standards inform the CQC's ratings, ranging from Outstanding to Inadequate.
CQC Key Questions
The toolkit aligns with the CQC’s fundamental standard quality statements, supporting organisations in mirroring the CQC's Single Assessment Framework and capturing scores for each quality statement.
Evidence-Based Practice
The toolkit is designed to match the CQC’s current fundamental standard quality statements, ensuring that organisations align with the principles and requirements laid out by the CQC for consistent, high-quality care.
