Use the CQC Self Assessment Checklist to evaluate and improve the quality of care, in line with the Single Assessment Framework's "Effective" key question and quality statements. It can be conducted bi-annually, or more frequently if issues are uncovered.

1. We maximise the effectiveness of people's care and treatment by assessing and reviewing their health, care, wellbeing and communication needs with them.

1. We plan and deliver people's care and treatment with them, including what is important and matters to them. We do this in line with legislation and current evidence-based good practice and standards.

1. We work effectively across teams and services to support people. We make sure they only need to tell their story once by sharing their assessment of needs when they move between different services.

1. We support people to manage their health and wellbeing so they can maximise their independence, choice and control. We support them to live healthier lives and where possible, reduce their future needs for care and support.

1. We routinely monitor people's care and treatment to continuously improve it. We ensure that outcomes are positive and consistent, and that they meet both clinical expectations and the expectations of people themselves.

1. We tell people about their rights around consent and respect these when we deliver person-centred care and treatment.

1. People say that they are having all their needs assessed and their care is in line with the assessments (and the corresponding "I" statements).

6. Our assessments fully consider all the risks to people’s safety and wellbeing

7. Staff know how to observe and report changes in people’s wellbeing so that needs and risks can be reassessed.
