Governance Documents for Social Care Providers | CQC-Ready Templates
Effective governance is the foundation of safe, accountable, and high-quality social care. Whether you're a small supported living provider or a growing domiciliary care agency, regulators and commissioners expect robust systems for leadership, risk, and quality management.
To help providers meet these expectations, Impact Guru Ltd has launched a comprehensive set of Governance Templates — professionally written, editable documents aligned with CQC's Single Assessment Framework.
📂 What’s in the Governance Collection?
- 📋 Risk Register Template — with built-in RAG rating and mitigation tracker
- 📑 Quality Assurance Policy — demonstrating your internal systems for audit and review
- 📊 Audit Tools — for care plans, medication, safeguarding, supervision and more
- 🗓️ Governance Meeting Templates — including agendas, action logs, and reporting schedules
- 👥 Organisational Structure & Delegation Charts
These resources are ideal for first-time CQC applicants or existing providers preparing for inspection or contract monitoring. All templates are provided in Word format for easy editing and customisation.
🎯 Why Governance Matters
The Care Quality Commission places a strong emphasis on Well-led and Safe Key Questions. Providers must demonstrate that their service is not just operationally functional, but governed in a way that is transparent, proactive, and improvement-focused.
Our templates help you evidence:
- ✔️ Clear lines of accountability
- ✔️ Active quality monitoring and risk management
- ✔️ Involvement of staff, service users, and stakeholders in governance
- ✔️ A cycle of continuous improvement
Good governance isn’t just about compliance — it’s about culture, consistency, and confidence.
🛠️ Designed to Be Used — Not Just Filed Away
Too often, governance documents are treated as ‘tick-box’ exercises — written once and never revisited. Our templates are built for real-world use: from monthly audits to leadership meetings and quality reports. They’re simple, practical, and scalable as your organisation grows.
Each download includes guidance notes, suggestions for evidence, and editable fields to tailor the documents to your structure and terminology.
📌 Build a Stronger, Safer Service from the Inside Out
Leadership isn't about reacting to problems — it's about anticipating them, setting a clear direction, and embedding quality into everyday practice. These governance templates support you to lead with confidence, demonstrate accountability, and meet the expectations of the people who rely on your care.
