Read more about the CQC inspection of Adult Social Care (ASC) services

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of Health and Social Care in England. Their job is to inspect and rate care homes, hospitals, GP services and more, providing reports and recommendations and ensuring services are safe and effective. As a result of the 2022 Health and Care Act, the CQC restarted their inspection of Local Authorities in 2023, assessing how they are meeting their Adult Social Care duties, in particular how they perform their duties under the 2014 Care Act.

The inspection aims to assess how well Local Authorities are improving outcomes for people in their area and reducing health inequalities, prioritising, amongst other things, how well services work together and how well social care services perform overall.
