How we are regulated, monitored and inspected

CQC logo

All health and social care services are registered and regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The CQC inspect services at varying intervals. Inspections of care homes are often 3 yearly unless risk assessed as needing a more regular inspection regime. Care providers also have to submit an annual return to the CQC setting out how they are meeting regulations. Due to the infrequency of inspections, their visits are a snapshot in time although to inform their risk assessment approach to their inspection frequency, they also rely on information provided by other statutory bodies as below.
