A confidential readiness check for care settings, across adults at risk and children at risk
Work through the evidence questions under each area. Answer honestly, based on what is currently in place and evidenced, not what is planned. As you go, each area is rated Red, Amber or Green, and an overall readiness score builds at the foot of the page. Safeguarding sits at the heart of the CQC ‘Safe’ question, and of the Ofsted social-care expectations for children’s services, so any amber or red area is worth closing before an inspection. Nothing you enter leaves your browser: this assessment is not saved, sent or recorded anywhere. When you are finished you can print or save a branded summary to keep.
Prefer to talk it through? A short, confidential conversation can turn this readiness picture into a clear, prioritised plan.
