Ofsted Ongoing Compliance

Monthly, quarterly and annual compliance support for children’s homes and provider groups that need stronger oversight, clearer governance and more consistent inspection readiness.

We help providers maintain compliance after registration through structured audits, governance support and practical guidance that keeps standards visible, managed and on track.

Ofsted compliance does not stop once a service is open. Providers need regular oversight, strong governance and reliable systems to make sure standards remain consistent over time. Delphi supports organisations with practical ongoing compliance frameworks covering audits, safeguarding, Regulation 44 and 45 readiness, quality assurance, leadership support and wider regulatory governance.

Our aim is to help providers move away from reactive compliance and towards a more structured and manageable approach, giving leaders clearer visibility over risk, performance and improvement priorities. This creates a stronger foundation for maintaining standards, supporting safer delivery and making sure compliance responsibilities remain active rather than drifting between key reviews or inspection activity.

Over time, this kind of support can help services build more confidence in their internal systems, improve accountability across leadership teams and create a clearer route for sustained quality across one service or multiple settings.

Experienced support when compliance needs structure and continuity

Our ongoing compliance support is designed for providers who want stronger structure around how quality, safeguarding and regulatory risk are monitored across one or multiple services. Support can include monthly compliance audits, Regulation 44 readiness reviews, Regulation 45 Quality of Care Review preparation, safeguarding audits, complaints framework reviews, restrictive practice reviews, incident recording systems, board-level compliance reporting and annual health checks for provider groups.

We help services build a clearer compliance framework that supports better oversight, stronger assurance and more consistent standards over time. The focus is not just on identifying issues, but on helping leaders understand priorities, track improvement and maintain control.

Recent feedback from our clients.

Our Institute of Medical Imaging and Visualisation team found your knowledgeable and timely services extremely helpful in successfully securing our CQC registration. Thank you for all the help.

Bournemouth University

"Sarah McCormack's approach to measuring compliance against the current CQC methodology is exemplary. Sarah has a wealth of knowledge and understanding about the complexities of adult social care and demonstrated this throughout her visit and her different conversations with our staff team.

She was friendly, communicated well and actively listened to all of our team during her recent assessment of one of our services. She was clear about the information she needed, was coaching and supportive in her feedback and most importantly spent time with our residents to understand a 'day in their lives' of living in one of our services.

Staff felt confident to be able to speak with Sarah throughout the visit and I firmly believe that her approach will have boosted our team's confidence to be able to speak with a CQC inspector when they visit."

"We provide housing and support for adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs, with many of our services registered with the CQC.

In December 2024, we commissioned Delphi to carry out a mock CQC inspection across one registration covering four services. The inspection was led by an experienced ex-CQC inspector, resulting in a thorough report rated using CQC methodology.

We received a detailed action plan, and the whole process was professional, insightful, and highly valuable. We found the service extremely helpful and would highly recommend it."
