Understanding this rating

Plain facts about how CQC rates and inspects services, as CQC describes them. This is not advice and not a rating of ours.

This is what CQC says about how it rates and inspects services. Each rating on this page is shown as CQC published it.

How often CQC looks again

There is no fixed timetable. CQC decides when to look at a service again. It uses the information it holds about the service and how much risk it sees. It may look sooner if it hears of concerns.

Why a service may have no overall rating

  • It is new. CQC may not have assessed it yet. For a new service, CQC looks at every part of a question before it publishes the first rating for that question.
  • It provides more than one type of care from one address, for example home care and supported living. At the moment CQC rates each type of care on its own and the address as a whole has no overall rating. You can see the rating for each type of care.
  • CQC did not have enough evidence. Now and then, CQC says there was “insufficient evidence to rate”.
