Key Question and Quality Statement Poster: Safe & CQC Single Assessment Framework Changes Survey Results

Are you and your team ready for CQC’s new single assessment framework?

With the process set to be rolled out to all health and social care providers in 2023, do you and your team know what is needed by the regulator to deliver high quality and person-centred care?

To help you, we’ve created the first in a series of posters giving you a clear breakdown of all the 5 key questions – safe, well-led, effective, caring, and responsive, and the new quality statements, which describe what good care looks like. All central to the CQC’s new approach.

Additionally, we ran a survey with care providers in England this September to understand their thoughts and confidence levels around the upcoming changes to a single assessment framework. We’ve collated our findings into a survey results infographic to share with you the results and key themes. Plus find out the top concerns and ways providers are already starting to prepare for the changes.

Regulations 2014 – Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities)

The intention of the regulations is to prevent people from receiving unsafe care and treatment and prevent avoidable harm or risk of harm. Care providers must assess the risks to people’s health and safety during any care or treatment and make sure that staff have the qualifications, competence, skills and experience to keep people safe.

Care providers should ensure that they only employ “fit and proper” staff who are able to provide care and treatment appropriate to their role. To meet this regulation, providers must operate robust recruitment procedures and must have a procedure for ongoing monitoring of staff. Staff must receive the support, training, professional development, supervision and appraisals that are necessary for them to carry out their roles and responsibilities.
