原味视频 and The Outstanding Society have co-produced the latest edition of the GO Guide. It’s currently available as a free online resource for registered manager members.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) have now introduced the biggest changes to inspection in almost a decade with the Single Assessment Framework. All adult social care services will be assessed by the CQC to ensure the quality of care complies with the new framework.
The GO Guide: Single Assessment Framework edition is aimed at frontline managers and those supporting regulated services and advises how you can deliver Good or Outstanding rated care. The guide is designed to help you build confidence in being ready for CQC assessment and empower your managers, staff, and service users to be ready to celebrate what you do.
Spanning 300 pages of insights and practical advice, the guide helps you and your teams recognise your strengths and prepare to showcase them to the CQC. It also helps you identify potential gaps that may affect your rating, ensuring you are fully prepared for assessment.
