 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.
This approach has already rolled out for GPs in the central region, and will roll out for all primary medical services (excluding dentistry) on 13 July.  With new technology comes new ways of offering services, but people still have the right to receive high-quality, safe care – regardless of how it is delivered. We've issued a statement clarifying the requirements for providers of orthodontic treatments, including where some elements of care are delivered remotely.  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.  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  You can now watch a recording of the webinar we co-hosted with Ofsted, HMICFRS and HMI Probation where we discussed the findings from the joint targeted area inspections (JTAIs). We looked at how multi-agency partnerships identify and respond to children with mental ill health. |
