Are you ready for CQC's new adult social care framework?

CQC is replacing its 34 quality statements with 24 key lines of enquiry, and bringing back written rating characteristics instead of numerical scores. Every registered manager will need to re-map their evidence. This check shows you where you stand and what to gather first.

0 ticked

Based on CQC's draft framework. This check uses CQC's for adult social care. CQC has said it will refine the framework before publishing a final version, and no go-live date has been confirmed. We will update this check when the final framework is published.

How it works

For each of the 24 key lines of enquiry, tick the evidence you could show an inspector today. If something genuinely doesn't apply to your service, mark it "Doesn't apply to us" and it is left out of your score. Be honest: unticked items become your action list. Nothing is sent anywhere. Your answers stay in your browser, and you can save the report as a PDF.

That's all 24. See where you stand.
