If you are a care provider you must demonstrate compliance with various regulations.
In England, care homes are inspected and monitored by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The CQC give ratings that determine if care homes are providing appropriate and quality care. The rating is based on 5 key questions (or "we statements"), which check if your facility is;
- safe
- effective
- caring
- responsive
- well-led

Background
Business Regulatory Support have been assisting Cornish food businesses for nearly 7 years.
Many of the businesses we work with report that an interim support visit is very useful to maintain compliance. This is due to the infrequency of some official inspections.
Our research shows there is a need for better support and understanding around compliance within the care sector.
The Care Safety Compliance package is designed to mirror the benefits already experienced in the food sector.
Who is it for?
Care Safety Compliance can be used in any care setting.
In addition to residential care, this service can be adapted for domiciliary care, as well as specialist providers.
Most providers recognised the benefits in working towards compliance to control hazards.
What's included?
Care Safety Compliance looks at a wide range of compliance matters including;
- Health and Safety
- Fire hazards
