- Follow your policies in all you do!
- Survey more than the mandatory once a year – get ahead of feedback people may give to CQC;
- Be transparent and open;
- Have clear provider reporting and oversight systems in place, with evidence of follow-up processes;
- Make sure the people leading the shift are visibly leading the floor;
- Ensure you’re taking responsibility for things that go wrong – don’t fall into the trap of blaming the staff team;
- Have evidence of how you are using research, alert systems, and so on to inform the practice of the service;
- Have clear community links (including evidence that residents have the opportunity to access the community);
- Show how audits have led you to improve the care delivered or the safety of the service; and
- Be visible as a leader in your own service.
