The Regulator now needs your feedback on the draft assessment frameworks to help refine them further. This will directly inform the next versions to help ensure they are practical, proportionate and focused on improving outcomes for people who use services.

It is asking for views on whether the draft frameworks will:

• guide CQC in carrying out assessments and make clearer, more transparent judgements about quality
• help providers to understand what CQC will be looking for and improve the quality of care they deliver
• help CQC and providers to identify and address the issue of inequalities in care
• reflect the range of services and sectors that we regulate across health and adult social care.

The CQC also welcome overall feedback on any areas that still need to be developed.
