hen faced with enforcement or a serious safeguarding issue often managers and proprietors are not provided with information from the regulatory authorities on how to be compliant. It is essential that managers and proprietors put the issue right first time to prevent further escalation. MIT Consultancy has many years of experience working with care home providers in these situations. We have successfully helped homes through care home tribunals to improving care home ratings.

MIT Consultancy will liaise with the regulators on your behalf. We will provide support and guidance to help rectify any shortfall in compliance. We will help make representation should it be required.
