Silent ratings for care homes and domiciliary support services to continue
As you may know, we have been piloting silent or unpublished ratings for care homes and domiciliary support services in recent months.
This has now been independently evaluated – we published the report on our website on 20 June.
While we continue to prepare for the implementation of published ratings from April 2025, our inspectors will still award silent ratings to care home and domiciliary support services when they are inspected.
This is to help prepare providers for the implementation of published ratings and to give our inspectors the greatest opportunity to become familiar with ratings as part of their inspection methodology.
Questions?
Come along to our online provider events taking place on 3 and 11 July – we have emailed care homes and domiciliary support services directly with links to the online Teams events.
