The Summer Governance Health-Check

Five questions to test whether your system will hold up under CQC's incoming sector-specific framework.

An inspector doesn't care about a flawless policy sitting on a shelf — they want to see how it is lived out on the floor. Work through the five checks below and answer honestly. Choose Yes only if you could evidence it today, without warning.

How the scores read

  • 5 of 5 — Inspection-ready. Your governance is living, not laminated.
  • 3–4 — Solid bones, but gaps an assessor will find before you do. Fix them now, while it's on your terms.
  • 0–2 — Your team is feeding the administrative beast. It's not a workload problem — it's a systems problem, and it's fixable.
