Advice and guidance has been developed to help providers of residential and community adult social care services to fulfil their responsibilities in respect of the outcomes in the Care Quality Commission's (CQC) guidance about compliance with 'Essential Standards of Quality and Safety'. The advice notes will contribute to understanding 'what providers should do to comply with section 20 regulations of the Health and Social Care Act 2008'.

CQC expects services to demonstrate good practice in meeting the essential standards of quality and safety and in delivering positive outcomes for people who use services. The advice and recommendations aim to help you achieve this by highlighting key mandatory, professional and sector training to help you assist your workforce in achieving these goals.
