Understanding the CQC single assessment framework

In England, The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has designed a framework to ensure that health and social care providers deliver safe, effective, and high-quality care. Meeting the CQC standards demonstrates an organisation's commitment to excellence by prioritising patient safety, improving care outcomes, fostering person-centred care, promoting continuous improvement, and building trust and confidence.

Organisations that successfully meet these standards showcase their dedication to providing the highest standard of care to those they serve.

Meeting these standards can often feel like an uphill battle not just for providers but for the staff as well.

ComplyPlus is a comprehensive software solution designed to assist adult social care providers in achieving excellence and compliance with regulatory requirements.
