Navigating the CQC quality statements
A comprehensive guide to preparing your evidence for CQC inspection and assessment
CQC’s single assessment framework is currently being refined following extensive consultation with the sector to de-duplicate, streamline, and simplify the process.
While these changes are underway, our toolkit, created in collaboration with Care England by our head of social care, Philippa Doyle, whose invaluable experience with CQC equips her with a profound understanding of the regulator’s inner workings and processes, is a must-have for social care providers.
What’s included?
The toolkit aims to demystify the single assessment framework, help you understand what CQC is looking for, and how the SAF relates to the fundamental standards of care regulations.
Any changes CQC make will be incorporated into an updated version of the toolkit. All those who purchase version one will receive the updated version free of charge.

Client testimonials
Cavendish Homecare purchased the ‘Navigating the CQC Quality Statements Toolkit’ from Hempsons and subsequently arranged a day of training incorporating the Fundamental Standards and the SAF. Philippa helped us to understand how the Fundamental Standards are incorporated into the SAF and what evidence the CQC will be seeking when they inspect. The team all found the training invaluable and we are now able to focus our efforts to prepare for our next CQC inspection.
Denise Moore, General Manager, Cavendish Homecare
We purchased the toolkit from Hempsons a few months ago. The toolkit is a practical easy read guide packed with useful information and relevant hyperlinks to navigate your way through the quality statements. Recently our senior management team booked a training session with Philippa and Jolena to work through key quality statements. The session was well run and very informative giving us all a better insight in to the I and We statements.
I can thoroughly recommend a training session and being able to tap into the vast experience and knowledge Philippa and Jolena have of health and social care. It really helped to drive things forward for us as a service.
Samantha Harrison, Continued Care
Autism Plus had the pleasure of welcoming Philippa once again to facilitate another insightful CQC Workshop. This session focused on the new CQC toolkit, which provides clear and practical guidance for understanding the standards and navigating the 34 Quality Statements. Having Philippa walk us through the toolkit has really helped focus the team. It’s encouraged a new way of thinking about the CQC framework and inspired confidence in how we showcase the brilliant work happening across all our services.
