CQC Assurance

Tools and information to support ASC staff to be prepared for CQC Assurance (now completed)

CQC Assurance

Care Quality Commission (CQC) assurance was a review of how Camden Adult Social Care delivered on their Care Act 2014 duties. Like Ofsted in Children and Learning, this process is the Adult Social Care version of an inspection.

In Camden, we are confident in the support we provide to residents. The CQC assurance provided us an opportunity to gather evidence to showcase the great ways in which we supported people - and continue to support people, whilst carrying out Care Act duties. 

The CQC inspectors on-site visit was on 18 November to 20 November.

If you have questions, please contact Cynthia Davis, Head of Adult Social Care Innovation at [email protected] or [email protected].

Self-assessment

In July 2024, Camden Adult Social Care submitted a self-assessment to the CQC.  

The self-assessment contains all the information and evidence about our Adult Social Care services work and what we do, 

The self-assessment includes:

  • our vision and strategy for Adult Social Care
  • our strengths and key areas of focus
  • evidence across the four overall themes of the CQC single assessment framework that CQC are applying to evaluate the performance of Adult Social Care services.

The themes within the CQC single assessment framework are:

  • how local authorities work with people
  • how local authorities provide support
  • ensuring safety within the system
  • leadership

As part of the discussion between the ASC Senior Leadership and the CQC, a comprehensive presentation about Camden Adult Social Care was created in October 2024. This document is helpful in giving insights into conversations that took place, but please note that some of the information including structural information is now out of date.
