The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England, and every provider must be prepared for inspections under its new Single Assessment Framework (SAF). Our comprehensive CQC Inspection Readiness Guide, created by Fusion Care Solutions, is designed to help care homes and providers stay compliant, improve quality standards, and embed a culture of continuous improvement at every level of the organisation.

Inside this guide, you’ll find practical steps covering leadership, staff training, person-centred care planning, quality audits, and how to handle an inspection visit with confidence. It also explains the importance of mock inspections, ongoing staff development, and effective follow-up after inspections to ensure long-term success. By following this roadmap, care providers can be confident they are not just inspection-ready but also consistently delivering safe, compassionate, and high-quality care.

With Fusion’s proven expertise in care management software, compliance support, and digital care solutions, you gain more than just a guide - you gain a trusted partner dedicated to streamlining your processes, empowering your staff, and helping your service achieve outstanding CQC ratings.
