Workshop Overview:

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has entered another major period of change.
Following the rollout of the Single Assessment Framework (SAF) and Quality Statements, the CQC has now launched its “Better Regulation, Better Care” consultation, signalling further adjustments to the way providers are assessed and rated in 2026.

Since failing to stay ahead of these changes can put your ratings, compliance, and reputation at risk, this workshop will help you understand what’s current, what’s changing, and how to prepare.

Whether you’ve already implemented the SAF or you’re still adapting to the new evidence categories, this session will provide clarity, confidence, and practical tools to future-proof your quality and compliance approach.

Learning Objectives:

During this workshop, you will learn about:

• The current CQC assessment framework — what still applies and what’s under review
• What the “Better Regulation, Better Care” consultation proposes
• How to align your existing Quality Statements and evidence to withstand future revisions
• Practical steps to document quality, governance and leadership effectively
• How to keep your teams engaged and inspection-ready through regulatory uncertainty
• What to expect next: timelines for 2026 and beyond

• Plus the opportunity to put your questions to our expert.
