Comprehensive In-Person CQC Mock Inspection

CQC Inspections are usually unannounced or announced at short notice. Working with an approved and experienced consultant panel across England, we can help you feel confident and prepared for when the time comes.

We have the expertise to support you in identifying and addressing any potential issues in your social care setting before they come to the attention of the CQC. Our aim is to assist you in rectifying these issues and ensuring that you can deliver a high-quality service that meets regulatory standards.

With the CQC rolling out the New Framework and Quality Statements, we are pleased to offer our bespoke Quality Statement (QS) audits and mock inspections. These have been meticulously designed to align with the new framework, serving as strategic tools that provide insights to managers and providers on how they will be inspected in this new way. Our tailored services are crafted to align as closely as possible with the upcoming QS framework, based on the information provided and the limited time on site. Since the framework is not yet finalised by the CQC and is subject to potential changes, our services may be adjusted accordingly over time.

We offer remote and virtual audits for both health and social care services. The aim is to replicate, as closely as possible, an onsite inspection but conducted remotely.

Upon scheduling, we will coordinate with you to provide the necessary details for the remote audit. This may involve requesting secure access to any relevant information stored electronically. The remote audit report and action plan will be sent to you within 7-10 working days of the scheduled audit date.

For this process, you may need access to a portable video call device so that we can remotely view the premises (if applicable). Calls may need to be scheduled via MS Teams with key staff, and a key staff member will be available for any queries throughout the audit.

In this remote audit, we cover all the Key Questions except for Caring, given the nature of the audit being conducted remotely.
