Care Inspectorate Wales plan to implement a rating system for Care Home and Domicillary Care Providers, akin to CQCs current rating system. Originally, rating regulations were to come into force on April 2024, but further delays were announced which means published inspection ratings will now be introduced from April 2025.
The CQC rates providers on each of their key questions and quality statements (Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, Well-led). CIW will similarly rate providers on the core themes of their inspection criteria:
- Well-being
- Care and Support
- Leadership and Management
- Environment
The CIW is yet to disclose any more information after the latest annoucement delaying the implementation of ratings to April 2025. Despite delays, it is important to contemplate the potential risks of this new system and start adapting your service to them.
