We’re proud to share that Rachael, our Manager at Ablewell Care, recently attended The Managers Conference 2026 🎤
While there, she heard from Chris Badger, Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care at the CQC — and brought back some important updates:
✔️ The CQC wants to work with care providers more, focusing on improvement, not just rules
✔️ They are making it clearer what “Good” care looks like
✔️ More inspections are coming, with a new “Return to Good” approach from April/May 2026
✔️ Future inspections will focus more on what they see (real care in action) rather than paperwork
The overall message? The CQC wants to recognise and support good care — and that’s exactly what we strive for every day at Ablewell 💙
