Invite for feedback from CQC.

We’re taking an important step towards improving how we assess and rate health and social care providers by moving to a sector-based approach to regulation.

Feedback from our consultation at the end of last year showed overwhelming support for our proposal to move away from a single assessment framework to separate frameworks that are more specific and relevant to the health and care sectors that we regulate.

We have therefore developed an initial 4 draft assessment frameworks for:
• Adult social care
• Mental health care
• Primary care and community services
• Hospitals (secondary and specialist care)

These draft frameworks give clearer, more transparent and consistent judgements about quality across sectors.

We’re now inviting feedback from colleagues, providers, people who use services, and other partners. https://orlo.uk/UJFBP

👉 Review the draft frameworks
👉 Share your views through our online survey
🗓 Feedback closes 12 June

Our latest blog takes a closer look at the key insights, from social care’s role as a core partner to how digital will support more joined-up, community-based care.

If you’re a provider, this is one to read.
