Adult
social care:
Quality
Matters
Our purpose
The Care Quality
Commission is the
independent regulator of
health and adult social care
in England.
We make sure health and social
care services provide people
with safe, effective,
compassionate, high-quality
care and we encourage care
services to improve.

Our model of regulation

Register
Monitor,
inspect
and rate
Enforce Independent
voice
We register
those who
apply to CQC
to provide
health and
adult social
care services
We monitor
services, carry
out expert
inspections,
and judge each
service, usually
to give an
overall rating,
and conduct
thematic
reviews
Where we find
poor care, we
ask providers
to improve and
can enforce
this if
necessary
We provide an
independent
voice on
the state of
health and adult
social care
in England on
issues that
matter to the
public,
providers and
stakeholders
The Mum (or anyone you love) Test
Is it good enough for my Mum?
Is it
safe?
Is it
caring?
Is it
effective?
Is it responsive to
people’s needs?
Is it
well-led?

State of Care 2016
• Published 13 October 2016
State of Care 2016: Adult social care
• Many services are providing good quality care – over 70%

• 84% of community social care locations, including 92% Shared Lives services, Good or Outstanding
• Caring achieves highest scores – 90% Good, 2% Outstanding
The good news

Great care
The provider and staff supported people in a number of creative ways to
lead a fulfilling life with a commitment and determination to promote
people's quality of life.
A person who liked
heavy metal had a CD
player and headphones.
Another person liked
birds – they had their
own budgies and love
birds to look after.
Relatives told us they were amazed and moved by the changes they
saw in their family member when they used their iPads.
Innovative ways of involving people were used so people were at the
heart of everything. People were listened to and their comments acted on.

Unsung heroes
State of Care 2016: Adult social care
• 26% services Require Improvement and 2% are Inadequate
• Poorer performance for safety and leadership
• Nearly a quarter of re-inspected inadequate services did not improve
• Half of services rated requires improvement did not improve on re-inspection – 8% became inadequate
• Services for older people fare worse than those for people with a learning disability
The worrying news

Poor care
One member of
staff when asked
about MCA “I
probably have
had training, I
can’t think what it
is off hand, is it
when people are
too ga ga?”
The home was not clean. Bins outside the
home were over-flowing and household
rubbish was kept in the garden which could
encourage pest infestation.
Staff employed at the home did not have the skills
and knowledge required to support people safely.
People were not
receiving medicines
safely and the
temperature for
storing medicines
was too high to
ensure medicines
were effective.
There has been
inconsistent
leadership at the
home, with
management
changes and
periods of
management
absence.

CQC: encouraging improvement with hard and soft levers
16
• Force – where people are at risk of harm and urgent action is needed.
• Inform – share findings, analysis and insights (passive) and encourage
national and local partners/improvement bodies to act on our findings (active).
• Model – ‘well-led’ mirrors conditions for improvement, methods encourage
organisations to embed good practices within their own ways of working.
• Recognise – celebrate good and outstanding, ratings reward high-quality,
potential earned autonomy for good and outstanding.
Recognise
Quality matters: a collective effort
17
The public – people who use services, families and carers
Staff – capable, confident and supported
Providers – culture, organisation, expectations
Commissioners and funders – expectations of quality
Regulators – monitor, inspect, rate, take action, celebrate
Person-
centred, high-
quality care
for all
Caring & responsive
Sustainable use of
resources
Well led
Adult
