Fully regulated throughout England and Wales<\/h2>\n \n \n \n

Unlike introductory agencies, home care with us is fully regulated. This regulation covers every part of the Helping Hands service:<\/p>\n

Regulated by the social care watchdog for England<\/span><\/h4>\n

In England, the Care Quality Commission (CQC)<\/a> inspects and reports of all social care services. The CQC’s mandate is to raise standards and stamp-out bad practice, making social care better for the people receiving care.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0most recent CQC inspection was completed in 2016, the results of which, once again,\u00a0stated\u00a0Helping Hands as being compliant. The inspection consisted of an unannounced visit to our offices plus contact with current customers and employees.<\/p>\n

CIW reports that Helpings Hands goes ‘above and beyond’<\/span><\/h4>\n

In Wales, we’re regulated by the Care Inspectorate Wales<\/span> (CIW)<\/a>. In an inspection at our Cardiff branch,<\/a> the CIW reported in August 2017 that our carers go “above and beyond, doing the things that are ‘not on the list’.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n

A founding member of the homecare association<\/h2>\n \n \n \n

The\u00a0Home Care Association (HCA)<\/a>\u00a0is the representative body for organisations that provide care to people in their own homes. It identifies and promotes the highest standards of home care and represents the views of its members with policy-makers and regulators. The association also promotes training and development of individuals and organisations providing home care.<\/p>\n

Organisations that join the HCA agree to abide by the Association\u2019s Code of Practice, and you should ensure that any company you approach for home care assistance is a member of HCA. The association represents over 1,600 members across the United Kingdom. Read the HCA code of practice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
