Adult social care quality assurance
Find out how we work with the Care Quality Commission to make sure our adult social care services are working for you.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) makes sure health and social care services support people with safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and encourage improvements.
Our assessment by the CQC
The Islington Adult Social Care (ASC) services were rated ‘good’ by Care Quality Commission (CQC) in 2025, with an overall score of 73 out of 100.
The CQC's inspection and assessment is crucial for ensuring the highest quality of care for residents in Islington. The assessment looks at how we are meeting our responsibilities to ensure people have access to adult social care and support under the Care Act (2014).
Our next steps
Our full report, including a summary of our strengths and areas of improvement is available on the CQC website.
CQC requires a local authority to address any issues and make improvements if needed. We will work closely with our partners, providers, the voluntary and community sector, residents and their families and carers, to continue improving our ASC services.
For any questions, comments or other feedback, email CQCAssessment@islington.gov.uk
