The new single assessment framework, which is being rolled out in November 2023, will bring changes to how your setting will be inspected on your safeguarding provision. The new quality statements and changes to the way evidence is gathered mean that you need to ensure your knowledge and working practices are up to date.
Join us for this one day conference to ensure that you are ready for forthcoming changes and are ready to evidence outstanding safeguarding.
This one-day virtual conference will bring you keynote sessions from legal experts who will talk you through your legal and statutory responsibilities, as well as forthcoming changes to the inspection framework. You will also hear from industry experts on a range of safeguarding topics, such as identifying and responding to concerns, supporting staff through the inspection process, improving staff training and the link between under-resourcing and staff burnout on care.
With plenty of time of dedicated time to network with colleagues and put your questions to our experts, you’ll leave the day with the knowledge you need to ensure your setting has outstanding safeguarding practices in place.
Who should attend? Those who work in adult social care at Provider, Responsible Individual, Registered Manager, Deputy Manager and Team Leader level.
Safeguarding means protecting people's health, wellbeing and human rights, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. It's fundamental to high-quality health and social care.
“Some older people are being badly let down by a system that has failed to treat them with dignity and respect or protect them from abuse and neglect.”
"In November, we will start to use our new assessment framework. This will be rolled out regionally, starting with providers in the South of England. Any assessments from November onwards for providers in the South will be carried out using the new assessment framework. We’ll still schedule assessments by considering the level of risk, so not all providers will need to have an immediate assessment. In other regions, we will continue to use our current assessment framework for now. The new assessment framework will be rolled out to other regions by the end of March 2024, and we will provide further updates as each region moves over to using the new framework."
