We work closely with other organisations so that we can encourage best practice and spot and stamp out bad practice together.
Together, we:
- share information about services
- improve how care is overseen
- make the most use of our joint resources and activities
- reduce duplication
Joint working agreements
Our formal agreements with other organisations describe how we regulate effectively in partnership. Our agreements set out what we hope to achieve, how we share information and how we evaluate success.
Care in the criminal justice system
We work with other inspectorates to monitor the quality of health and care within secure settings.
Children's services
We work with Ofsted and other inspectorates to inspect registered health services for children.
How we interact with Coroners
Coronial investigations sometimes yield evidence we use to do our job. There are also particular times we're required to assist Coroners.
Working with local groups
We work with others to make sure we hear the views and opinions of people who use services.
'Tell us about your care' partnerships
We work with national charities to gather feedback from people about their experiences of care.
