Care surveys for people who use care at home and housing support services
We want people to be able to meaningfully engage with our inspections in a way that suits them best. In 2023, we ran a successful pilot to introduce online surveys for people who use services, carers, relatives, staff and other professionals who help to support people in care homes.
We are now ready to roll out the second phase of surveys to all care at home/housing support services and will be asking people to complete these from mid-May 2024 onwards. We have developed a care survey for people who use care at home/housing support services, relatives, carers, staff and visiting professionals who help to support people in services. These surveys replace the old care standards questionnaires (CSQs) and link to our quality frameworks.
