Read more about the CQC inspection of Adult Social Care (ASC) services

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.

Bath and North East Somerset Council, Bristol City Council and South Gloucestershire Council have jointly produced a Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP) to cover the period up until 2026.  The ROWIP is intended to set out an assessment of the current rights of way network and identify strategic steps which the Councils intend to take in partnership with various stakeholders to improve the network for the benefit of the public.  The ROWIP contains a particular emphasis on improving the way that the network is managed in the context of challenging public finances and addressing the challenges and opportunities which arise as a result of the continued high level of development within the three Council areas. A key aim is to increase use of the rights of way network, particularly amongst ethnic minorities and members of the public with disabilities.
