This one day course will establish a clear understanding of the expectations of The Care Quality Commission when assessing an organisation’s procedures for handling complaints and expressions of concern.
Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on the extent to which existing procedures and practices will ensure compliance with Regulation 16 of The Health and Social Care Act.
Challenge, conflict and confrontation will be acknowledged as necessary, inevitable and useful.
We will identify and examine strategies regularly used to handle (or avoid) challenge and consider how these strategies have evolved as well as assessing their effectiveness.
The day will include group reflection and interactive exercises aimed at developing confidence and shared professional standards.
