The term "quality assurance" means maintaining a high standard of quality, across the service, by continually measuring certain elements, for example, the 5 Baseline Quality Principles. We continually measure how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led our services are. Not just in our CQC registered services, but across our day support and supported living services as well.
