What’s included in my CQC mock inspection?

Depending on your service size, our compliance team will book the suitable consultant to carry out the mock inspection, this can be announced or unannounced. During the audit the consultant will be on site going through a similar process like an official CQC Inspection. They will follow the KLOE  Prompts. After a CQC mock inspection, you will get initial verbal feedback, followed by a full Audit report and Service Improvement Pan (SIP). The compliance team will call you once you have read through the report and SIP and support with any concerns that you have. Our team can then offer an end to end service where we can be on site and ensure that the SIP is being followed.

With our consultants they can easily adapt to this and be as flexible as required. One of our best products is what we call the Bronze product where we visit at specific times of the year just looking auditing on a focussed inspection.

I do not have the time for a mock inspection

We assure you that this will not be disruptive to you and the day to day running of the service. We prefer if the Manager / provider is around to give feedback as there will be always questions that we need to ask as part of the process. Its better for us if the staff just carry on with daily routines. We might interview them during the times when they are less busy.
