On 15 April 2024, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) notified us of their intention to inspect our Adult Social Care service. As part of this, the CQC asked us to provide information about how we deliver our Adult Social Care Services. This includes the details of our partner agencies and the submission of a Self-Assessment.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of Health and Social Care in England. Their job is to inspect and rate care homes, hospitals, GP services and more, providing reports and recommendations and ensuring services are safe and effective. As a result of the 2022 Health and Care Act, the CQC restarted their inspection of Local Authorities in 2023, assessing how they are meeting their Adult Social Care duties, in particular how they perform their duties under the 2014 Care Act.
The inspection aims to assess how well Local Authorities are improving outcomes for people in their area and reducing health inequalities, prioritising, amongst other things, how well services work together and how well social care services perform overall.
