The CQC have recently published the first pieces of new guidance about the types of evidence they will be looking for as part of assessing each quality statement in their new assessment framework. They are sharing this now, so you have time to read and understand it, as well as telling them whether it works for you.


CQC have grouped different types of evidence under 6 evidence categories. Each category sets out the types of evidence they will look at to understand:


  • the quality of care being delivered
  • the performance against each quality statement.

This is to make their judgements more transparent and consistent.


They will make clear what they will be looking at in their assessments, by setting out the evidence categories that will be focused on for each quality statement.


Please tell CQC whether the guidance works for you. Log into Citizenlab to share your views. You can read more about our ongoing transformation plans on our website.


Read the Guidance.
