Start with the decision
Start with one clear question.
Some providers need one issue followed through the records. Others need a wider view of leadership, care records, medicines and staff checks. The right starting point depends on the question, areas involved, service size and timing.
The planner suggests a service and shows its published price range. It does not create a final quote.
Keep it anonymous. The planner asks only what you want reviewed. Do not enter names, care details, private letters from a regulator or confidential provider information. Your choices stay in this browser and are not submitted.
How the planner chooses a review
The suggestion is based on your four answers.
Its purpose is to suggest a sensible first review. It does not measure regulatory risk, decide whether you comply or predict what CQC may conclude.
Evidence
One specialist area may suit a focused audit. Several connected areas usually need a wider sample.
Scale
Checking one issue differs from reviewing a whole service or several locations.
Delivery and timing
Remote work, on-site work, a mix of both and the time available affect the quote.
Published starting points
Compare guide prices without giving us your details.
These are the published starting prices. Your written quote confirms the final price after the work is agreed.

View serviceWhat the result cannot decide
What the planner cannot tell you.
The suggestion is based only on your answers here. It cannot assess the real risk, quality of records, immediate safety, safeguarding, legal or contract duties, letters about regulatory action or whether qualified clinical advice is available.
If there may be an immediate safety, safeguarding, data-security or medicines concern, follow the correct urgent safety and reporting procedures first. Do not wait for a consultancy enquiry.
