Supplier focus
Is red tape causing your business a headache?
 Has your care service been inspected by the regulator recently? You can be sure that whenever this inspection is due your employment law and health & safety policies and procedures will be heavily scrutinised.
The CQC’s star rating, for example, could ultimately determine the success of your care service. Red tape is just another headache in the running of your care service, unfortunately employment law and health & safety are matters that draw attention and any downfall in these areas can adversely affect your rating.
Having the correct policies and procedures in place within your care service not only helps to ensure the running of a legally compliant business, but could also help to secure the quality rating that your care service deserves.
Business owners, regardless of sector, are finding red tape more and more time consuming, yet failure to embrace a system that ultimately protects the business from either employees and tribunals or enforcing authorities and prosecutions, can have disastrous consequences and put your business at risk. For example, employment tribunal applications rose by 42% last year to 189,303 and the average penalty per health & safety conviction last year was £12,896. As a result it is increasingly difficult for care service providers to remain compliant without external support.
Citation plc has been representing care services since its inception in 1995. Citation’s Queen’s Award Winning service guarantees compliance in the areas of employment law and health & safety legislation, freeing up its clients to concentrate on running their business. Citation has in excess of 6000 clients and employs over 200 staff and has built up a formidable reputation within the care sector.
Working closely with and supporting care associations around the country, Citation are aware of the issues you face as care service providers and will ensure your business complies with employment law and health & safety legislation and that your business will satisfy any inspection carried out by a regulatory body. This service is specific to the care sector and is backed up by a 24-hour helpline and a unique advice guarantee: should you face an employment tribunal, health & safety prosecution or other action after adopting Citation plc systems and advice then Citation would pay the defence costs and tribunal awards up to £1 million per annum, with no exclusions or small print. This is the only guarantee of its type in the UK, and your ultimate assurance of the quality and professionalism of the Citation team.
