CQC are introducing their new inspection framework
“Our assessment framework is built on our five key questions and well-known ratings system and is what we use to set out our view of quality and make judgements.
We will start to introduce it in phases and be clear when it will directly affect health and care providers. We are publishing our new framework now so that providers and other stakeholders can start to become familiar with it.
From today, 18 July 2022, providers and others will be able to read more about our quality statements and evidence categories. We’ll build on this with more detail about how it will work in practice over the coming weeks and months. For example, information on the evidence we’ll require in our assessments of each service type and what our assessments will look like.”
