CQC compliance service

CQC Mock Inspection

A real CQC-style inspection of your service, with a comprehensive report of the improvements to make before the regulator arrives.

In short

A mock inspection is a CQC-style inspection carried out before the regulator visits, so improvements are flagged by us rather than by an inspector. QMADS reviews premises, evidence, audits and workflow procedures, interviews key staff and gives you a comprehensive report with pictorial evidence of what needs to change.

Often combined with CQC Remedial Action Plan, CQC Governance and CQC Quality Statements.

What will we do?

Our mock inspections are based on real CQC style inspections; this is where we are able to flag up any improvements that are needed in your organisation before the real inspectors do and provide you with the comprehensive report which includes an action plan.

The highlights of the CQC mock inspection service are:

  • Premises walk-around from a Health & Safety and Infection Control perspective
  • Our KLOE Compliance audit will include pictorial evidence of identified areas that need improvement. Is your service Safe, Care, Responsive, Effective, and Well-Led? These SCREW questions are the basis behind a CQC Inspection Framework.
  • List of pre-inspection documents required as evidence and feedback on your CQC presentation.
  • A copy of questions previously asked on CQC inspections.
  • Talk to team members on what to expect before, during and after the day of inspection and how to be prepared.
  • Interview key members of your staff to test their knowledge and prepare them for a real CQC interview.
  • Check your audits
  • Check your evidence items
  • Check your workflow procedures.
