The importance of CQC interview preparation

Preparing for your Care Quality Commission interview is essential for registered managers and nominated individuals because it tests leadership, governance, risk control, and readiness to deliver care that is safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well led. Strong preparation improves confidence, reduces delays, and helps you present evidence clearly against the current assessment approach.

Understand how CQC assesses services under the assessment framework, and make sure your examples map to the six evidence categories.

What CQC is assessing now

CQC keeps the five key questions and judges services against quality statements using six evidence categories. Build your answers and your proof around these categories because inspectors use them to form judgements in practice.

See the quality statements and approach and how evidence works across all categories and by sector group.

Description of image

The purpose of the fit person interview

The interview checks your fitness to manage or oversee the regulated activity. It is not a job interview.

Expect questions about legal duties, leadership, and how you assure compliance with regulations and the assessment framework. Guidance for managers is set out in CQC’s page to register a new manager.
