Sets out the findings of a survey completed by 56 CEOs and senior managers in the care sector, to explore their views on cost pressures, recruitment challenges and the impact of Brexit on the sector over the past 12 months. The survey received 56 responses across various types of care providers, including those providing supported living, residential care, day services, home care and respite care. The majority were providing learning disability care. The responses suggest intensifying cost pressures for the UK’s care providers. The report highlights that: rising wage bills are the biggest cost pressure faced by the sector; more than half of providers have begun to hand back contracts to local authorities as a response to funding pressures, an increase on the previous years survey; and 80 per cent of respondents cited low wages as the biggest barrier to recruiting and retaining staff.

Sets out findings of a survey of CEOs and senior managers within the care sector, exploring whether beliefs and attitudes towards cost pressures, workers’ pay and impact of Brexit on the care sector have changed over the past 12 months. The majority of respondents (89 per cent) said the current model for commissioning care packages is not fit for purpose. The study also found more than treble the amount of providers are now operating at a loss compared to 2016-17. Of those not yet in deficit, 67 per cent expect to run a deficit in the next two to five years. The report also highlights that: in response to measures to deal with cost pressures, more than half the sector has already begun to curb investment; almost one in four stated that their organisation would have to close if they were required to pay the full amount owed for sleep-ins, and a further 22 per cent said they would have to hand back contracts to local authorities; recruitment and retention of staff remains a challenge for the sector with 93 per cent citing difficulties; 77 per cent of respondents said that they are concerned about the impact of Brexit on the care sector, with most saying that it is the loss of staff from overseas that is their main concern.

The report summarises responses for the four areas covered in the consultation: principles for regulating new models of care and complex providers; changes to CQC assessment frameworks, moving to two assessment frameworks - one for adult social care and one for health care and changes to key lines of enquiry (KLOI); improvements to guidance on registering services for people with a learning disability and/or autism; and changes to the regulation NHS trusts.

It also covers other comments about the CQC where were outside the scope of the consultation. Key themes discussed by respondents include the clarity of the proposals, consistency with in the regulation process, transparency, the flexibility of the CQCs process and methods, the need for proportionate regulation, and for the CQC to work more closely with other organisations across the health and social care sector.

This policy statement provides guidance for registration managers and inspectors assessing providers of services for people with learning disability and/or autism. It aims to ensure the Care Quality Commission (CQC) have a consistent approach to registration of services for people with a learning disability and/or autism and also informs providers, people who use services and their families and carers of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) approach to registration. It applies to three key areas of registration: specialist hospital provision, such as an assessment and treatment unit for people with a learning disability and/or autism; opening a new care home or location; and new applications for registration and applications to change a location’s service type, for example from hospital services to care home or supported living services. Case studies are included to provide examples of applications that are likely to be approved, and application that are unlikely to be granted. Providers of services are more likely to have their application for registration granted if they can demonstrate how their model of support is: is in line with Building the Right Support and the accompanying service model, built on evidence-based care; and is in line with national policy.

Summarises feedback from the first of three Care Quality Commission (CQC) consultations on the development of their new model of regulation and sets out what the actions the CQC intend to take. The consultation focused on principles for regulating new models of care; changes to CQC assessment frameworks, moving to two assessment frameworks - one for adult social care and one for health care and changes to KLOEs; improvements to guidance on registering services for people with a learning disability and/or autism; and changes to the regulation NHS trusts. A summary of feedback and CQC actions is provided for each of the four areas. The consultation ran from 20 December 2016 to 14 February 2017, received 496 responses. Overall, respondents were supportive of the proposals, and felt the changes could improve the regulation of care services, and ultimately the quality of care. Feedback from respondents covered the following themes: the clarity, consistency and transparency in implementing the changes; the need for flexibility in the approach due to the complexity and variety of health and adult social care providers; to ensure that regulation would be proportionate; and calls for closer and more collaborative working between the CQC and other organisations across health and social care.
