CQC Compliance Checklist for Care Providers

This CQC compliance checklist helps health and social care providers evidence compliance with Care Quality Commission standards. It guides teams to document how they meet key outcomes across consent to care, person-centred and safe care, safeguarding, infection prevention and control, medicines management, nutrition and hydration, coordination of care, premises and equipment safety, staffing and recruitment checks, training and competency, quality assurance and risk management, complaints handling, and records management. Use it to structure audits, gather proof, assign actions, and improve readiness for CQC inspections across regulated activities.
