Common questions

What registered managers ask.

How do I prepare a domiciliary care agency for an unannounced RQIA inspection?

Prepare for an unannounced RQIA inspection by maintaining live evidence across all four inspection domains year-round, not just before a visit. Claritance auto-generates a 90-day inspection pack from staff, incident, training and risk data on demand, so agencies are always audit-ready.

What are the four RQIA inspection domains for domiciliary care?

The four RQIA domiciliary care inspection domains are Is Care Safe, Is Care Effective, Is Care Compassionate and Is Care Well Led. Each domain requires distinct evidence — staffing, training, incidents, supervision and governance records — mapped continuously, not reconstructed at inspection time.

How often should staff supervision be logged for domiciliary care compliance?

RQIA expects documented staff supervision at regular, evidenced intervals, typically every 6-8 weeks per care worker. Claritance logs supervision dates, outcomes and follow-up actions automatically, flagging any staff member falling outside the agency's supervision schedule before it becomes a compliance gap.

What is a 90-day inspection pack in care compliance software?

A 90-day inspection pack is a pre-assembled evidence bundle covering the last quarter of staffing, training, incident and risk data. Claritance generates this pack instantly from live dashboard data, replacing days of manual spreadsheet and paper-file preparation before an RQIA visit.

How do I track pre-employment checks for domiciliary care staff?

Track pre-employment checks with a structured 22-item checklist covering ID, references, Access NI, training and induction sign-off per staff member. Claritance's onboarding wizard flags incomplete items in real time, preventing staff from going on rota before checks clear.
