How the service monitors quality, identifies risk and demonstrates leadership awareness of what is happening across the service.Examination of incident and learning processes
How incidents are recorded, reviewed and used to improve practice.Review of evidence and documentation structure
How clearly the service can demonstrate the reasoning behind its work, including whether evidence is organised in a way that inspectors can easily follow.Assessment of how risk is monitored and managed
Including how the service identifies concerns early and how actions are recorded and followed through.Review of leadership visibility and accountability
How the Registered Manager and leadership team demonstrate awareness, oversight and decision making.A written inspection readiness report
