Please join Birmingham City Council and BVSC for an online briefing on Birmingham City Council’s Care Quality Commission (CQC) Self-Assessment.

As you may be aware, the Adult Social Care Directorate is currently undergoing a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection. Stuart Lackenby, Executive Director of Adult Social Care and Health, would like to brief the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector providers on the process so far, particularly in relation to the Council’s self-assessment against the CQC criteria. This will be particularly helpful to those providers who may be interviewed by the CQC as part of the process. (If you receive funding from Adult Social Care you may be invited).

The briefing will provide:

• key messages from Birmingham City Council’s recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) self-assessment
• an overview of findings
• highlight areas of strength
• outline next steps for improvement and collaboration

There will also be an opportunity to ask questions of our speakers.

About CQC, the Birmingham City Council Assessment and the VCFSE Sector:

The CQC (Care Quality Commission) is the independent regulator of Health and Social Care in England.

The CQC assessment of Adult Social Care and Health provision in Birmingham City is important to the VCFSE sector in Birmingham. The self-assessment and recommendations contribute to:

• Determining priorities
• Creating focus on areas of improvement
• Influencing investment

As part of the Local Authority Assessment process, CQC work with groups and organisations that represent people who use social care and support and unpaid carers. For example:

• local Healthwatch groups
• Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) groups

Along with CQC’s Experts by Experience, these groups and organisations can help CQC to contact people, families and representative groups, and engage with communities whose voices are seldom heard.
