Know where you stand before CQC does.
A practice inspection of your service, carried out by people who have managed care services, measured against CQC's assessment framework. You get honest feedback on the day and a clear action plan to follow.
We assess all five key questions
- Safe Covered
- Effective Covered
- Caring Covered
- Responsive Covered
- Well-led Covered
A full practice inspection, without the pressure of the real thing.
Whether your assessment is due, you have had a disappointing rating, or you are new in post and want a clear picture, a mock inspection shows you what an inspector is likely to see. It also gives your team a chance to practise talking about their work with confidence.
Suitable for residential and nursing homes, domiciliary care, supported living and other adult social care services.
