Your feedback will help Choice Support review the ways CQC regulates services with the aim of making improvements to health and social care across England.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is England’s independent health and adult social care regulator. CQC inspects and monitors all health and adult social care services in England, and gives ratings to services ranging from GP surgeries to dentists, hospitals, mental health services, and care homes.

Choice Support is a charity organisation that runs the Experts by Experience contract for CQC. They support CQC’s regulation of health and care services by gathering people’s experiences of care.

The experiences you share at the meeting will be added anonymously to feedback that choice support shares with CQC, this could be highlighting specific services or generally how services work and connect, they want to hear about good practice as well as the challenges. Choice support will feedback to us how the feedback they’ve gathered has been used.

The benefit of Essex Carers Network of being part of the Public Engagement Network means that we are making sure the experiences of Essex families is feeding into and informing insight gathered around health and social care nationally.
