Stop firefighting compliance and get ahead of inspection
Policies, audits, evidence and governance running on a rhythm — so an inspection is a normal week rather than a crisis.
The situation
Compliance decays quietly
Nobody sets out to let compliance slip. It happens because the service gets busy, the audit that was monthly becomes quarterly, policies pass their review date, and the evidence that governance is happening stops being recorded even though the thinking still is.
Then an inspection is announced and three weeks disappear into reconstructing records.
What it costs to wait
What a rating costs you
A Requires Improvement rating affects commissioner confidence, framework eligibility and often your ability to bid at all. Enforcement action affects your ability to trade.
The gap between a Good service and a Good *rating* is almost always evidence, not care quality.

Questions
Straight answers
How does the free compliance score work?
A short self-assessment scores your position across the five key questions and returns a gap report with priority actions. It is indicative — it is not an audit or an inspection.
What do the membership tiers include?
Essentials is the policy library, compliance calendar and reminders. Growth adds quarterly remote audits and a quality dashboard. Managed adds monthly reviews, a full audit programme and registered-manager mentoring. Enterprise is multi-location with a dedicated compliance lead. Every package price, what is included and the payment-plan options are shown inside your free account. Creating one takes a minute and needs no card. We publish the detail there rather than on this page so we can point you at the package that fits your situation rather than the largest one — and so you are never quoted blind.
Can you guarantee a Good rating?
No. CQC rates your service on what it finds. We make sure the evidence reflects the care you actually deliver, which is where most providers lose marks unnecessarily.
