A comprehensive, realistic CQC-style audit at your premises over 2–3 days. We observe, interview, review records, and deliver a full report with prioritised actions — exactly as a real inspector would.
A complete inspection-style visit to your premises over 2–3 days, depending on the size and complexity of your service. We mirror CQC's methodology across all five key questions: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-Led. Smaller services typically require 2 days; larger or more complex facilities may need 3.
We interview a cross-section of your team using CQC-style questioning to assess knowledge, competence, and whether good practice is embedded throughout your service.
Deep-dive into care plans, risk assessments, medication records, training logs, policies, and governance documentation to identify gaps before inspectors do.
Direct observation of care delivery, staff interactions, mealtimes, activities, and the overall environment — exactly what CQC inspectors focus on.
Delivered within 5 working days of the final on-site day: detailed findings against each key question, indicative ratings, evidence of strengths, and areas requiring improvement.
Clear, actionable recommendations ranked by priority with suggested timelines, so you know exactly what to tackle first for maximum impact.
A dedicated follow-up call to discuss findings in detail, answer questions, and guide you through the implementation of recommendations.
If your rating doesn't improve after implementing our recommendations, we'll conduct a free follow-up re-audit within 6 months. No questions asked.
We discuss your service, concerns, and goals. No obligation — just an honest conversation about whether a mock inspection is right for you.
We agree dates (typically 2–3 consecutive days depending on the size of your facility), send you a brief preparation checklist, and confirm which areas of your service you'd like us to focus on (or we assess everything — your choice).
Our expert auditor spends 2–3 days at your premises conducting a thorough assessment: care observations, staff interviews, record reviews, environment checks — the full CQC methodology.

You receive a comprehensive written report with findings, indicative ratings, and a prioritised action plan. Clear, actionable, and ready to implement.
We walk through the report together, answer all questions, and help you plan implementation. You're never left to figure it out alone.
