Find out what CQC would find — before they do.
A realistic dry run of your CQC assessment: observation, staff conversations, record sampling and a document review against the quality statements — finished with a RAG-rated report and a prioritised action plan your team can start the same week.
Your mock inspection covers

We test each key question through the same evidence CQC uses — what people experience, what staff say, what we observe and what your records show.
Safe
Safeguarding, risk, medication, staffing levels, infection control and learning from incidents.
Effective
Assessment, consent, training, nutrition and working across services for good outcomes.
Caring
Dignity, independence and how people are treated as individuals — observed, not just written down.
Responsive
Person-centred planning, complaints, accessible information and equity of experience.
Well-led
Governance, culture, oversight and improvement — where most ratings are won and lost.
From booking to action plan in two weeks
