CQC Mock Inspection

Prevention is always better than cure—that’s why we encourage a proactive approach to managing your CQC rating with a mock inspection.

What is a CQC Mock Inspection?

A CQC Mock Inspection is a simulated inspection carried out to help health and social care providers prepare for an official inspection by the Care Quality Commission (CQC)—the independent regulator of health and social care in England.

At Safe Care Solutions, we offer comprehensive CQC Mock Inspections designed to help care providers identify areas of non-compliance, uncover hidden risks, and strengthen service quality ahead of an official CQC inspection.

Our experienced consultants—many with direct regulatory and care management backgrounds—conduct detailed, realistic mock inspections based on the CQC’s latest framework and key lines of enquiry (KLOEs). We examine your service through the lens of the five key questions: Is your service Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-Led?

Prepare with Confidence: CQC Mock Inspections Tailored to Your Service

At Safe Care Solutions, we understand how vital your Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating is—not just for compliance, but for your reputation, service quality, and the trust of the individuals and families you support. Maintaining or improving that rating requires continuous effort, insight, and readiness. That’s where we come in.

We offer comprehensive mock CQC inspections aligned with the latest CQC Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOEs) and the official inspection methodology. These realistic simulations are designed to help you identify areas for improvement, correct potential issues, and feel fully prepared for your next inspection.

Our experts bring extensive experience from health and social care management, compliance, and regulatory roles. We don’t just assess—we work alongside you to develop a culture of quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Be Ready. Be Confident. Be Outstanding.

CQC inspections can be unannounced, but your readiness doesn’t have to be. Our mock inspections give you the clarity and confidence to face official inspections with assurance—knowing you’ve done everything possible to deliver high-quality, person-centred care.
