CQC Investigations

The CQC undertakes regular checks for the safety of those in health and social care, providing reports that can be used for people and families to compare care provision services to find the best place to provide the support they need.

Comprehensive inspections are conducted regularly, identifying on a 4-point scale whether the services providing care are safe, effective, responsive to people’s needs and well-led.

Smaller scale, ‘focused’ inspections can be conducted for the following reasons:

Further investigation into a concern which may have come to light in a comprehensive inspection or through ongoing monitoring
A changeover of management, mergers or acquisitions, or any other change in provider circumstances

Instructing a specialist solicitor at the earliest opportunity will ensure they are fully aware of the situation and can work alongside you to provide the best possible approach to the situation you are facing.

Reach out to our CQC investigation solicitors, well versed in defencing regulatory matters, as soon as you believe you may be facing further inspection.

CQC Inspections

CQC inspections are measured in line with the following regulations.

Health & Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014
Health & Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) Regulations 2015
Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009

Some of these regulations have criminal offences attached, enabling the CQC to bring prosecutions if they are breached.

As such, it is crucial to ensure compliance to prevent damage before it happens.

If you do, however, find yourself in breach of any regulations, it is strongly advised that you seek the support of a regulatory expert.
