We are a CQC registered service provider, but what does that mean? The CQC, or Care Quality Commission, is a public body which was established in order to regulate and inspect health and social care services.
In order to be registered we had to undergo rigorous testing which considered two main areas;
Registered Manager – The CQC made an assessment of our registered manager’s application and after reviewing his documents and performing an interview, found that he is “of good character, able to properly perform tasks that are intrinsic to their role and has the necessary qualifications, competence, skills and experience to manage the regulated activity.”
Service Provider – The CQC made an assessment of our service. They considered our compliance with the Health and Social Care Act (2008) and considered our ability to deliver a “safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led service”.
Ultimately they authorised us on the belief that we would “provide and manage good quality care that meets the needs of people.” Moving forward we will continue to be monitored, inspected and rated by the CQC, to ensure that our service maintains a high standard.
