Update on self-evaluation pilot in adult care services
Thank you to everyone who participated in our self-evaluation test inspections for adult services last year.
Our aim was to:
- gain understanding of where the sector was at
- explore how we could validate services self-evaluation of the core assurances
- assess whether the services own self-evaluation of the core assurances reflected that of the inspectors.
What did we do and who was involved?
Between October 2023 and June 2024, we worked with providers of adult care services to develop their skills around self-evaluation. This included holding three webinars, which were attended by more than 800 people, two face-to-face workshops with over 90 attendees, and a session with managers from a large provider. At these events, we provided practical support and advice to help services understand the process as well as providing information on how we would be testing and validating their self-evaluations.
