About Us
Care 4 Quality
Our Story
Care 4 Quality was founded in 2012 initially to support adult social care providers through service audits and carry out mock inspections. Building an approved panel of experienced consultants throughout the UK, Care 4 Quality has worked in partnership with many clients to undertake quality monitoring, service improvement through mock inspections, manager training, CQC enforcement support, and compliance support.
We provide robust evidence on how a service performs in line with regulations to help assure quality in the care environment.
In February 2024, CQC Compliance Limited was merged into the Care 4 Quality family, bringing a wealth of healthcare experience, as well as additional support to clients with CQC policies and registration support.
We are passionate about supporting health and social care providers to become and to remain compliant with the CQC, as well as Care Inspectorate Wales, Care Inspectorate, and Ofsted (where applicable).
As a merged organisation, Care 4 Quality can now support both health and social care providers with inspection, policies and registration, as well as various other support options tailored specifically to our clients’ needs.
Our team is comprised of former CQC Inspectors, CQC Registered Managers, Nurses, Midwives, Paramedics, and Clinical Specialists, alongside a dedicated internal operations and support team. Our range of expertise and skills means that we can cover all your compliance needs, whether you’re a small private clinic or a large-scale care organisation.
You Go the Extra Mile, So We Do Too
We wanted to create a one-stop-shop for your compliance needs because we understand the pressure of running a high-quality healthcare or social care service. Our services have been carefully curated by our team of in-house experts, ensuring you receive the very best support, entirely suited to the needs of your organisation.
Care 4 Quality is proud to be part of the WorkNest family. We became part of the WorkNest group in June 2021 when we were acquired to contribute to the growth and enhancement of WorkNest’s services to health and social care providers in the UK.
While our expertise will always be healthcare compliance, our position within the group allows our clients to access industry-leading HR, employment law and health & safety support from our 400+ colleagues across WorkNest, ensuring comprehensive and integrated support for their unique needs.
