Scope

Description

Our model includes working with the identified council to scope and deliver up to 4 sessions in a day with staff, to prepare them to confidently 'tell their story', to CQC assessment teams. Following the staff sessions, our model allows for the contractor to meet with the Senior team (Adult Social Care), to give key messages emerging to take forward as actions to address in advance of a CQC visit. In addition a face-to-face manager's session (approx 2 hours/up to half a day) is offered. This can be part of an existing or planned manager's event, if the council wishes, or stand alone and can be speedily organised.
