This document has been prepared by Partners in Care and Health (PCH) to support councils as they prepare for assurance of adult social care through assessment by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). It should be considered alongside the top tips for CQC assurance preparation produced by PCH.
It is comprised of two parts. The first part provides an introduction and overview of self-assessment. This second part is a workbook providing tools and templates which have been developed to support the self-assessment process. It is also supported by an excel workbook.
The workbook offers a framework to support the systematic gathering of evidence aligned to the CQC assessment framework. This evidence should inform the completion of a self-assessment, and collation of the documentation and evidence, that will be required in support of the CQC assessment process.
We recognise that every council will need to agree their arrangements to support their preparation for assurance and will therefore use the workbook in a way which is most helpful to them.
