Frequently Asked Questions About CQC Mock Inspections
01 What Is a CQC Mock Inspection?
A CQC mock inspection is an independent preparation exercise that helps health and social care providers, such as domiciliary care agencies, care homes and supported living services, review their arrangements before CQC assessment or inspection activity. It can include reviewing evidence, policies, governance processes and service practices to identify areas that may need further attention.
02 Is a CQC Mock Inspection Carried Out by CQC?
No. A CQC mock inspection provided by My Projectz is an independent preparation service and is not carried out by the Care Quality Commission. It does not form part of an official CQC assessment and does not determine a provider’s rating.
03 What Are the Five CQC Key Questions?
CQC considers services through five overarching key questions: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led. These areas help structure how the quality and performance of health and adult social care services are considered.
04 What Can Be Reviewed During a CQC Mock Inspection?
Depending on the service and agreed scope, a mock inspection may review policies, procedures, governance arrangements, records, supporting evidence, staff understanding and other service practices relevant to current published CQC requirements.
05 Does a CQC Mock Inspection Guarantee a Particular CQC Rating?
No. A mock inspection cannot guarantee a CQC rating or regulatory outcome. Its purpose is to support preparation by identifying areas that may require further evidence, clarification or improvement before CQC assessment or inspection activity.
01 What Happens Before the CQC Mock Inspection Begins?
We begin by understanding your service, current position and CQC preparation needs. This helps us agree the scope of the mock inspection and the areas that should be reviewed.
