Inspector-ready evidence
Hand the inspector a PDF they can verify.
Live CQC SAF dashboard — 5 Key Questions, 34 Quality Statements, per-competency drill-down, named at-risk staff. Care Certificate 15-standard rollup alongside. One-click evidence pack PDF with cover page, per-KLOE detail cards, and an audit annex naming the specific staff still working toward each competency.
No screenshots stitched together the night before. No spreadsheet reformatting.
NEW — Continuous monitor
Inspector-ready any day, not just inspection day.
Every night, CareCompetent takes a daily snapshot of your compliance scores. The dashboard shows a 30-day, 90-day, or 1-year trend line per KLOE and for the Care Certificate overall.
The moment any score drops below 70% or falls 5 percentage points week-on-week, the registered manager gets an email. You'll never be surprised by a drop at the wrong time again.
How it works for your team
Without the binders, without the extra work.
CareCompetent replaces the spreadsheet, the binder, the photocopier — without adding to your admin load.

Founder note
Built by a care operator, used by us every day.
I'm Chris Clarke. I run Cherished Care, a CQC-regulated home care service. I built CareCompetent because I was tired of reformatting competency spreadsheets the week before every inspection — and tired of finding gaps in my staff's records when it was too late to fix them.
We use it ourselves every day. If it's good enough for our CQC inspector, it's good enough for yours.
