Good governance is the foundation of high-quality, safe, and accountable health and social care services. Strong governance structures ensure compliance with Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulations, safeguard service users, and promote continuous improvement. This course provides a comprehensive overview of governance principles, leadership responsibilities, and regulatory frameworks, helping managers and senior staff develop the skills needed to lead safe, effective, and well-regulated care environments. Learners will explore Regulation 17 (Good Governance) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008, risk management strategies, governance culture, and how audits and feedback mechanisms contribute to service improvement. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to implement robust governance systems, meet CQC compliance requirements, and enhance organisational accountability. This course is ideal for care managers, senior leaders, and compliance officers responsible for governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance in care services.
