CQC attended a webinar, hosted by LGA, on 17 October 2023: “Adult social care assurance: learning from the CQC pilots and the elected member perspective”.  This document providers answers to some of the questions asked during that session. It is not a comprehensive list of all questions and answers. Please note, the answers to these questions are based on our understanding as of November 2023, and are subject to confirmation following completion of pilots, pilot evaluation and incorporation of learning.

Adult social care information and advice are essential and getting them right means that people are more likely to be able to make informed choices and access the right support at the right time and place. This can make a big difference for someone and ultimately can improve their health and wellbeing. It also helps councils to manage and prioritise their assessment processes and resources.
