This impacts all care providers, no matter how large or small, and ensuring all your staff have the right mindset for an inspection is key. Recently incorporated into the Yorkshire Care Group of companies, The CIA Group Ltd are one of the key consultancy firms in the UK who provide support and assistance to not only help care organisations pass their inspections and evidence assessments, but also showcase their amazing facilities and standard of care and support they provide.
There are currently no qualifications or requirements for individuals to carry out care quality consulting within the sector – again we want to change this. We are planning a certified programme, developing benchmark standards and a thorough assessment process. This will not only develop the professionalism of the sector, but also provide a continual programme ensuring all our consultants have up-to-date knowledge and skill sets to do their job in a continually changing sector.
