DDN/FDAPWORKSHOPS
We are pleased to offer the followingworkshop:
17 OCTOBER 2012
CQC compliance...
...whatever next?
This course is designed to keep you up-to-date with the latest
changes in CQC regulation:
• CQC have recently announced that all inspections will be
annual and unannounced. So you are never far from your
next inspection, and you won’t know it’s coming!
• Your service may be newly registered by CQC, which means
you will be unfamiliar with inspection and won’t know
what to expect when the inspector calls.
• The level of CQC enforcement activity has increased across
the board, so you need to be aware what may happen if you
are not compliant and how you can rectify the situation.
• This year, CQC say that they will be focusing on a select
number of outcomes in their inspections, but doing so in
more depth. Their new method of inspecting means they
will be spending more time speaking to, or observing,
service users and their care and treatment.
SO HOW CAN YOU BE PREPARED FOR YOUR NEXT INSPECTION?
The course will show you how to look in depth at specific outcomes
yourself, and how to ensure that you have the right evidence
available to demonstrate your service’s compliance with CQC. The
course will also look at what to expect and how to respond on the
day of the inspection.
For those of you who have been inspected youmay wish to learn how
to develop action plans which meet CQC requirements, so there will
be an element of “master class” action planning built in to the day.
All participants will be able to learn from this.
David Finney is an independent social care consultant with a specialist

services. He was a senior manager with CSCI where he was the
