Inspections can be challenging in differing ways for Providers, Managers, Staff and residents.  However, there are ways to help make times of inspection an opportunity to demonstrate to the regulator how you are meeting the Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOE’s). By sharing knowledge and experience you will be leaving this course with clear ways to prepare, manage and respond to CQC inspections. We will look at ways to showcase your service, techniques for managing inspections that do not go as well as hoped as well as practical advice and support. We will refer to the Inspectors Handbook so that Providers can gain awareness of the due process that inspectors must follow. We will explore the different types of inspections that can take place and how these may be prompted.  When Providers feel that there is a legitimate complaint to be made, we look at ways in which this process can be done in a constructive and coherent way.

We also touch upon PIR, Notices from CQC, FAC, Rating Reviews and warning notices. There will be availability on the day to speak with C4Q enforcement/regulation experts.
