Top 10 Care Staff Compliance Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Wednesday, December 10, 2025 1:00pm.

Most providers believe they’re compliant, but when we review staff files across hundreds of services, we consistently find the same hidden gaps. Not because providers are careless, but because the rules change fast and traditional HR systems don’t catch risk in real time.

In this session, we’ll share what we see every day: the top 10 compliance mistakes that slip through even the best teams, and the simple steps that will protect your service from CQC, Home Office and LA scrutiny.
