Preparing for your Home Office and CQC Audit

An audit rarely arrives with much notice, and for a care provider it can come from two directions at once: the Home Office checking your sponsorship records, and CQC assessing the quality of care. Both want evidence, and both want it quickly. This longer, collaborative session at 11AM on 27 August,walks through what to expect from each, where providers most often come unstuck, and how to prepare so an audit is a formality rather than a fire drill.

You'll get a clear view of what each regulator asks for, how a Basic Compliance Assessment and a CQC inspection overlap, and the records that tend to be missing when an inspector calls. Because it's a longer, collaborative session, there's room to bring your own situation and work through it together. The session closes with a live Q&A, so you can put your own sponsorship or compliance questions directly to an adviser.

What you'll leave with:

• What to expect from a Home Office Basic Compliance Assessment (BCA, the audit that grades your sponsor licence), and what CQC looks for alongside it.
• The documentation and policies to have ready before either regulator gets in touch.
• A self-audit you can run on your own files, so you find the gaps before an inspector does.
• Answers to your own sponsorship or compliance questions, direct from a Borderless adviser.
