The pattern
Registration day
You have just spent months and a good deal of money getting registered. The last thing on your mind is the assessment that is now on the clock.
Eighteen months later
Policies out of date, no mock inspection, training incomplete, evidence in six places. This is the call we take every week, and it is always made in a hurry.
Any Tuesday
A Notice of Proposal gives you 28 days to make representations. A registered manager leaving takes the compliance memory of the home with them. Both are normal, and neither is planned for.

The promise
Inspection-ready every month, evidenced in writing, with someone on the phone the day a letter lands.
For single-site and small-group adult social care providers in England. Especially those in their first two years after registration.
What you get each month
Where you stand on every key question. What is missing. What changed since last month. Produced from your evidence and signed off by your named consultant, an ex-inspector who has read the file.
It is the answer to the question every manager asks in the car park: "what would they find if they walked in today?"

When something goes wrong
You never search for help with the clock already running. You already have it.
The incoming manager inherits a readiness statement and a system, not a filing cabinet.
What keeps it green
One person who knows your service, answers within a working day, and does not disappear when your managers start asking questions.
Plus a remote mini-mock at six months. Run the way an inspection is run, written up the way an inspector writes.
CQC replaces the Single Assessment Framework with sector-specific frameworks at the end of 2026. Your policy set and evidence map move with it, per service.
Staff turnover reopens the training record every quarter. Seats on our courses and open e-learning keep it closed.
The platform your evidence lives in and your statement is read from. Part of the membership, not a separate subscription.

The guarantee
Anyone who promises you a rating is selling you something CQC does not give consultants the power to deliver. Treat it as a warning sign.
What we can stand behind is the accuracy of the readiness statement. If your service has held a green statement for three consecutive months and then receives Requires Improvement or worse at assessment, we deliver the remediation plan and the first five consultant days at no charge.
Subject to the terms of the membership agreement.
Why this year
CQC consulted on a dedicated adult social care framework in spring 2026 and expects to implement toward the end of the year. Every policy set and evidence map written for the Single Assessment Framework has to move.
The draft replaces the 34 quality statements with 24 adult social care KLOEs and drops numerical scoring in favour of judgements at key question level. Your evidence has to be re-mapped, not re-written.
If your service registered under the single framework and has not yet been assessed, you will be assessed under the new one. Members go through the migration with us, on our clock rather than theirs.

What you are worried about, when your assessment is likely, who your manager is.
