Care Quality Commission assessments for adult social care: Must know guide for chief executives

Adult social care in all councils in England will be assessed by Care Quality Commission (CQC) before the end of 2025.

A similar CQC assurance process for Integrated Care Systems is being piloted currently and reviews of them all will also be completed by December 2025.
