 In our latest CQC Connect podcast we're joined by Kate Terroni, Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care, Anna Severwright, Convener, Social Care Future and Selina Litt, Expert by Experience to discuss Social Care Future's I Pledge and our commitment to empower the voice of people who draw on social care in all the work that we do. In our conversation we explore the work of Social Care Future and hear about Selina's own experiences. Kate Terroni's latest blog shares more information about our commitment to the pledge. You can find this and all our podcasts on all major podcast platforms.  We've published information on changes we're making to how we regulate. In March 2020, we suspended our routine inspection programme in response to COVID-19 and developed our ability to monitor services using a mix of on-site and off-site methods. We're further evolving our monitoring approach to ensure the public have assurance about the safety and quality of the care they receive, while still focusing on risk. These developments carry on the progress in how we monitor services in three key areas by: - improving our ability to monitor risk to help us be more targeted in our regulatory activity
- bringing information together in one place for inspection teams, presented in a way that supports inspectors with their decision making
- testing elements of how we want to work in the future, including how we provide a more up-to-date view of risk for people who use services.
In adult social care services these changes will be rolled out from July.  We've now launched our strategy, which outlines how we plan to change and transform to deliver more effective regulation. To ensure that the delivery of this strategy is effective we want to develop how we'll implement it in partnership with you. A regulatory model is the end-to-end view of what we do, from registering a provider to enforcement action and is underpinned by our assessment framework. You can take part through our digital participation platform. There you'll find a document which explores; - Why we need to change our current assessment frameworks
- What we want our updated assessment framework to achieve
- Our early thoughts - bringing the key questions to life with 'Making It Real'
There's also a great podcast and video which explores our early thinking. You can take part by signing up or logging in to our digital participation platform  We've just published issue 11 if our monthly COVID-19 insight report. This month's insight report focuses on care for people with a learning disability. In it, we discuss our forthcoming provider collaboration review (PCR) on people with a learning disability living in the community, which looks at how services have worked together to meet people's needs. The full PCR report will be published in July and looks at services in seven local areas in England. For more information you can read our full news story and download the report below.  On the 15 and 16 September we'll be exhibiting at the Dementia, Care & Nursing Home Expo and Home Care Expo at the NEC Birmingham. We'll be running a two-day inspector hub from our exhibition stand to answer all your registration and inspection questions. You'll be able to book a free appointment and chat to a member of our inspection team at a time that suits you. We'll share the link with you in our next bulletin. Kate Terroni, Chief Inspector of Adult Social care will be holding a keynote at the event where she'll discuss our new strategy and how we're changing. |
