“Outstanding-Ready” Self-Assessment
Go Beyond Compliance. Discover What Sets You Apart.
Being rated 🟢 Good is a strong foundation, but ⭐ Outstanding requires more than meeting expectations. It takes consistency, clarity, culture, and confident evidence across every domain.
This structured self-assessment helps you step into the inspector’s shoes, evaluate your service honestly, and identify what it will take to move from good to exceptional
What You'll Be Able to Do:
- Evaluate your service across the 5 CQC quality categories:
1: Safe 2: Effective 3: Caring 4: Responsive 5: Well-Led - Identify areas of Outstanding potential using language inspectors recognise
- Spot culture, leadership, or confidence gaps that weaken your evidence
- Build a roadmap to Outstanding, aligned with the Single Assessment Framework (SAF) and NHS improvement principles
