Audits

At VS Social Care Consultants, we provide practical, hands-on support to help health and social care providers carry out comprehensive service and provider-level audits. These audits not only support compliance with CQC inspection standards and the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, but also drive quality improvements and operational excellence across your organisation.

We offer tailored audit support in the following key areas:

Medication Audits

We assess medication management practices against best practice and regulatory standards, helping you ensure safe storage, administration, documentation, and review processes.

Safeguarding Audits

We review your safeguarding systems, reporting procedures, and staff training to ensure they meet statutory requirements and best practice in protecting vulnerable adults and children.

Incident & Accident Reporting

We evaluate how incidents and accidents are recorded, investigated, and learned from—supporting a transparent and safety-driven culture.

Care & Support Plan Audits

We conduct thorough reviews of care and support plans to ensure they are person-centred, outcomes-focused, regularly updated, and fully reflective of service users’ needs and preferences.

Housing Compliance

For supported living and accommodation services, we assess housing-related compliance including fire safety, tenancy agreements, environmental standards, and facilities management.

Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)

We review your IPC policies, risk assessments, staff practices, and environmental cleanliness to ensure compliance with current infection control guidance.

Health & Safety Audits

We carry out full reviews of your health and safety systems, including risk assessments, staff training, emergency procedures, and environmental hazards, ensuring you meet your legal obligations under health and safety legislation.

Pressure Area Care

We assess systems in place for preventing and managing pressure area care, including risk assessments (e.g. Waterlow & Purpose T), turning charts, skin integrity monitoring, and care planning.

Epilepsy Management

We review the care provided to individuals with epilepsy, including risk assessments, seizure protocols, PRN plans, and staff training in emergency response.

Diabetes Care

We evaluate how diabetes is managed within your service, including dietary support, blood glucose monitoring, medication (including insulin), and care planning.

Staff Files

We audit personnel records to ensure all required documentation is in place, including right to work checks, DBS status, training records, supervision notes, and recruitment compliance.

Call Bell Response Times

We assess the effectiveness and responsiveness of your call bell system, reviewing logs, staff availability, and how the service ensures timely support to residents or service users.
