Quality assurance shouldn't live in a filing cabinet.
Spreadsheets, paper audits and "we'll-sort-it-before-the-inspector-arrives" don't stand up to today's CQC Single Assessment Framework. CareReady gives you a single, live source of truth.
Without CareReady
- Paper audits lost between visits and head office
- Findings raised but actions never closed
- No evidence trail when the inspector calls
- Hours wasted chasing managers for spreadsheets
- Reactive — fire-fighting before every inspection
With CareReady
- Audits scheduled, run on a tablet, scored in real time
- Every failed question creates a finding and an action with an owner and due date
- Photos, MAR charts and signatures attached as evidence
- Live CQC dashboard across every service and location
- Proactive — continuous improvement, all year round
Everything you need to evidence quality.
One platform from audit to action to inspection — no more juggling tools, folders and inboxes.

Loved by registered managers across the UK.
"We walked into our last CQC inspection with every audit, action and piece of evidence already in one place. The inspector commented on how organised we were."
"CareReady has replaced four spreadsheets and a shared drive. Our team actually completes their audits now — on a tablet, in the moment."
"The Mock CQC template helped us identify gaps months before our inspection. We moved from Requires Improvement to Good."
Frequently asked questions
Is CareReady aligned with the CQC Single Assessment Framework?+
Yes. Every template maps questions to the five CQC key questions (Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, Well-led) and the underlying quality statements (KLOEs) so your scores roll up directly into a CQC-ready dashboard.
Can staff complete audits on a tablet or phone?+
Yes. The whole platform is mobile-first. Auditors can capture evidence (photos, signatures, files), score sections and raise findings from a tablet at the point of care.
Can I run multiple registered locations from one account?+
Yes. CareReady supports multi-location providers out of the box. Each location has its own audits, findings, evidence and compliance score, with org-wide rollups for head office.
Where is our data stored?+
All data is hosted in the UK on enterprise infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest. Role-based access, full audit trail and GDPR-compliant data processing are built in.
Can we migrate from spreadsheets or another system?+
Yes. Use our 11 built-in industry-standard templates, then upload your existing policies and evidence into the evidence vault. Our team will help map your current audit schedule across.
