CQC New assessments

From 21 November CQC will start using our new single assessment framework in the South region.

Between 21 November and 4 December they will undertake a small number of planned assessments with 14 early adopter providers, whilst continuing to respond to risk. They will then expand their new assessment approach to all providers based on a risk-informed schedule.

They are sharing more information with providers in the south separately and will be in touch with providers in other areas of the country to confirm when they’ll start using their new approach.
