Quality Assurance Framework
Our Quality Assurance Framework sets out what good Adult Social Care looks like in Nottinghamshire. It explains how we use feedback from people who draw on care and support, carers, staff and partners to improve services.

How the framework was developed
The framework was developed with people who draw on care and support, carers, staff and partners. It was co-produced with the Nottinghamshire Our Voice co-production group and developed in collaboration with Adult Social Care colleagues and other local authorities in the region.

The framework is based on the Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Making It Real statements.

The Making it Real statements also form the basis of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) assessment framework for local authorities.
