Think "Quality" and Think "Regulation" CQC, OFSTED.
Registration with the CQC
Health and social care services who offer personal care are required by law to meet the regulations as required by the respective regulatory bodies. For adult services in the UK, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the regulatory body for services offering personal care support to adults, and therefore services must be registered with the CQC.
Quality and Compliance
Quality and Compliance are two crucial components in the health and social care services business registration and operation. Quality is defined as the means or the "how to" provide an intended service, while Compliance is the regulatory requirements. Our research indicates that service providers who have good quality standards will also have good compliance adherence.
