Turning Quality Audits into Action β€” Not Just Paperwork

Audits are only as useful as the action they drive. Commissioners don’t just want to know you do audits β€” they want to know how those audits make your service better.


🧭 From Findings to Action

Make clear in tenders that you:

  • Summarise audit findings with measurable data and commentary
  • Create action plans from each audit with named leads and deadlines
  • Use the results to inform supervision, training, or system changes

πŸ“ˆ Tracking and Reviewing Progress

Demonstrate your commitment by showing how you:

  • Log actions and follow up at leadership level
  • Monitor whether actions have improved practice or outcomes
  • Adapt future audits to reflect learning from past ones

πŸ“£ Communicating Audit Impact

Let commissioners know how your audit process supports transparency:

  • Findings shared in team meetings or newsletters
  • Audit themes included in quality reports or board papers
  • Positive outcomes from audits shared with people using the service

A strong audit cycle doesn’t end with a checklist β€” it ends with better care. Show commissioners how your audits drive real change.
