How to Show You’re Using Quality Monitoring — Not Just Collecting Data

Commissioners aren’t impressed by long lists of metrics. They want to see how your data shapes decisions and drives improvements.


📉 Use, Don’t Just Record

Your tender should explain how you:

  • Spot patterns — not just track incidents
  • Make changes based on your findings
  • Review outcomes after action is taken

That shows your monitoring system is live, responsive and learning-led.


📋 Audits with Purpose

Say more than “we carry out monthly audits.” Include:

  • What you audit
  • Who carries it out
  • What happens next — do you share findings, update practice, retrain staff?

This gives weight to your process.


🧩 Join the Dots

Good monitoring connects to everything else:

  • Staff performance and supervision
  • Training gaps and policy updates
  • Incident trends and service user feedback

Show commissioners how these loops work in practice.
