The QMF allows for an assessment of quality under the following five key areas:

  • Assessment and care/support provision
  • Staffing
  • Safeguarding
  • Equality & Diversity
  • Involvement and Empowerment

As part of the quality assessment, service providers will be requested to submit evidence via virtual means.

Updated guidance notes:

Please see attached information on the up-to-date Quality Monitoring Process following COVID-19.

Where concerns need to be investigated urgently the Contracting Team may contact services and request them to supply evidence using our Focussed Monitoring template. The services will be required to submit the relevant evidence and an assessment will be made on whether a service is compliant or not compliant. There will not be an overall score, but any areas of non-compliance will need to be addressed within a satisfactory timescale as agreed by the Contracts Officer.
