Following the publication of reports from Dr Penny Dash and Professor Sir Mike Richards, both of which discuss the design and implementation of the single assessment framework, we would like to highlight an opportunity for adult social care providers to contribute to future work in this area.
The Care Provider Alliance (CPA), chaired by Professor Vic Rayner OBE, is working with Professor Sir Mike Richards on the review of the single assessment framework and its implementation.
The CPA is a coalition of the 10 main national associations that represent independent adult social care providers in England. It advocates for the sector and ensures a co-ordinated response to the major issues that affect it. Members take it in turns to lead the CPA and there is a new Chair each year.
Members of the CPA will focus on giving an operational perspective on the single assessment framework from an external care provider’s viewpoint. The review will explore aspects such as how the new approach works in practice, its effectiveness, and how providers are experiencing the process. It will also give a view on changes providers would like to see.
The first stage of the review will focus on providers’ experiences of the single assessment framework, either in preparing for it or during inspection. Any managers, deputy managers, senior managers, nominated individuals, quality or compliance leads working in a regulated care service is able to respond to the online survey. Feedback from this survey will inform a second stage, which will look more closely at what people want from CQC for the future.
The survey will close at 5pm on Sunday 20 October.
Please contact cpasafreview@nationalcareforum.org.uk if you have any questions, or would like to provide a response on an organisational rather than service level.
Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey and for contributing to this piece of work.
