Care Quality Commission - enforcement policy
About the Care Quality Commission
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) was established to regulate the quality of health and adult social care and look after the interests of people detained under the Mental Health Act.
Health and social care touches everyone at some point. This gives CQC a powerful and highly responsible role in people’s lives. CQC will, from 1 April 2009, bring together the work of the Commission for Social Care Inspection, the Healthcare Commission and the Mental Health Act Commission, creating for the first time an independent regulator of health, mental health and adult social care in England.
Their vision for high-quality health and social care that supports people to live healthy and independent lives, empowers individuals, families and carers in making informed decisions about their own care, and is responsive to individual needs.
They aspire to be a leading and innovative regulator that will:
- Focus on outcomes for people
- Harness a range of regulatory approaches to drive improvements in quality
- Prioritise on the basis of risk
- Champion a joined-up approach to care across services, centred on the individual
- Be transparent and open
- Be tough and fair
- Be independent
- Be proportionate
- Coordinate our work with other regulators
