Sound familiar?

You are busy running your service. You do not have time to learn another framework, and you cannot justify expensive consultant fees to do it.

Every change brings new terminology, new expectations and a pile of reading. Meanwhile the rota, the appointments and the paperwork do not stop.

We do the analysis for you. Upload what you already have, and we tell you where you stand against the new framework and what to do about it, for a fraction of the cost of a consultant.

What is CQC changing?

CQC has published draft sector-specific frameworks to replace the Single Assessment Framework.

Current Framework

New Framework

One framework for every sector

A framework for each sector

Quality Statements

Key Lines of Enquiry, written as structured questions

Evidence category scoring

Rating characteristics, judged at Key Question level

Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, Well-led

Unchanged

Preparing now means you are ready for the new framework.

The report does the heavy lifting

What people say about the report

Using CQC Navigator was the first time that I fully understood the single assessment framework. It takes you through the key questions and quality statements in a logical way so that you can clearly build and maintain your evidence in one place without the need for lots of spreadsheets and separate documents.

John Smith

As a small clinic, the single assessment framework was completely overwhelming and we didn’t know where to start. Having the evidence themes and examples allowed us to quickly understand what was relevant for our clinic. Using our existing policies we could then tailor the evidence to reflect the way we work.

Anna Hopkins

We found the AI Assistant incredibly helpful for navigating the more complex parts of the framework. It helped us understand how to properly evidence specific areas like Duty of Candour by providing practical examples from our existing day-to-day operations that we hadn’t realised were key evidence points.
