C-CAF (Care Consultant Accreditation Framework)
The Care Consultant Accreditation Framework (C-CAF)
The Care Consultant Accreditation Framework (C-CAF) is established to bring regulation and accreditation to care consultants who collaborate with Care Quality Commission (CQC)-regulated services in the UK.
How C-CAF Works…
We have created a framework that ensures Care Consultants have the required legal and ethical skills to perform their roles.
The Framework of accreditation is split into 3 parts.
Application
The application stage considers personal information, relevant experience, qualifications, references, Insurance, and previous/current CQC registrations.
Skills Assessment
The Skills assessment looks at relevant areas of expertise that the consultant can provide and evidence that can be substantiated in the form of certification or references..
Right to work
Right-to-work documents will need to be provided alongside DBS on the update service and professional indemnity insurance. If none of these documents are provided, consultants will not be added to the accreditation.
Why do we do it?
With the Care Quality Commission (CQC) under ever-growing scrutiny, care providers are increasingly commissioning the services of care consultants to support them. The outcomes of these services are extremely variable due to the lack of regulation around consultants.
