Andrea Sutcliffe, the Care Quality Commission's Chief
Inspector of adult social care, has told the BBC that standards in care homes
are "not good enough" and in too many cases "awful".
The commission is trying to drive up standards (and its
own reputation) by introducing a new rating system, similar to the OFSTED
model. Care homes will be ranked as either:
- outstanding
- good
- requiring improvement, or
- inadequate.
A necessary first step towards attaining a high standard
is to ensure that ALL staff are working competently and efficiently. Training
levels should be reassessed and, where necessary, staff should be given good
quality, cost-effective training. #elearning #embracelearning
