About the Regional Assurance Network

The Purpose of the group is to provide support for those taking a lead in this area for their Council.  We share experiences, ideas and approaches and use the group to raise and answer questions.  The creation of a regional group enables us to

  • gain an overview of progress
  • identify key concerns/questions to engage with CQC
  • Share resources and utilise learning from others (for example those that have participated in preparation exercises/mock inspections, Childrens service colleagues)
  • To share intelligence as we gather it from various sources
  • Influence developments where possible both regionally and nationally.
