Supporting Care Providers with their Digital Transformation Journeys...
As you know we are working hard to promote and publicise the DSPT within the provider market across Berks, Oxon & Bucks, as well as providing tailored support to help providers complete the toolkit.
We are making great progress, and since starting the project 2 years ago we have moved from 2% of CQC registered Adult Social Care providers across BOB having an in-date toolkit, to 67.77%. Having said that, this still leaves over 30% of the provider market without a toolkit, and information potentially at risk. We are doing all we can to target and support these providers.
We're pleased to let you know that we are hosting 2 FREE face to face events in November and we would be most grateful of your help publicising these to providers – via email, at network meetings, via telephone or face to face. However you can get the messaging out there! See flyer attached here.
Navigating Digitisation for the Tech Terrified
Thursday 16th November, 1pm-4:15pm @ Thame Barns Centre, Thame, OX9 3AJ
Perfect for providers who are early on in their digital journey and want to know more about how and why they should move forwards with digitisation. We’ll cover everything from the basics of data and cyber security, to how digitisation is linked to regulation and the all important CQC inspections. As well as hearing real life examples of how digitisation has transformed other adult social care businesses.
Guest Speakers include: CQC National Regulatory Policy Managers, DataGuard – Data & Cyber security Specialists, BOB ICB Digital Social Care Records Team.

Walk Through the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) – in-person workshop
Wednesday 22nd November 2023, 11am – 2pm @ Thame Barns Centre, Thame, OX9 3AJ
Providers can bring their laptop and work through the toolkit question by question whilst enjoying some tasty refreshments. This is a chance for providers to complete their toolkit as much as they can and take away a tailored action plan to help them complete it in their own time.

With thanks for your support,

This offer of support is part of the Better Security, Better Care programme, funded by NHS Transformation Directorate (formerly NHSX) to support data and cyber security across the adult social care provider sector.

CQC is changing
Share CQC is changing on Facebook Share CQC is changing on Twitter Share CQC is changing on Linkedin Email CQC is changing linkNew assessments starting from 21 November in our South region
From 21 November we will start using our new single assessment framework in our South region.
Between 21 November and 4 December we will undertake a small number of planned assessments with 14 early adopter providers, whilst continuing to respond to risk. We will then expand our new assessment approach to all providers based on a risk-informed schedule.
We are sharing more information with providers in the south separately and will be in touch with providers in other areas of the country to confirm when we'll start using our new approach with them shortly.
NOTE: At this stage our new assessment approach will not apply to services we do not rate or NHS trust well-led assessments. We'll be in contact with those providers with the detail of how we'll roll out our new approach with them.
The South region includes services registered in these counties: Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Kent, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Surrey, Sussex and Wiltshire.
Catch up on our latest webinar
In the second of our 'CQC is changing' webinar series, you can hear from Amanda Hutchinson, Head of Policy, Regulatory Change and Dave James, Head of Adult Social Care Policy.
Amanda and Dave introduce quality statements and evidence categories, and the role they play in our new regulatory approach.
We talked through where these two elements fit in the wider new regulatory approach and what guidance is available to help you understand them. Sharing example quality statements to explore how we’ll use evidence categories to identify specific sources of evidence to use in our assessments.
How well do you understand how we're changing
To make sure we're sharing the right information at the right time about our new regulatory approach we'd like to understand how well you understand what we're changing.
Your feedback will mean we can give you more helpful information about our new regulatory approach.
Share your feedback on our latest guidance
We've recently published some new provider guidance that describes the evidence we'll use to assess individual quality statements for different types of providers.
We want to make sure this guidance gives you the information you need to understand this part of our new approach.
To help us understand that we'd like your feedback on the guidance.
