As a care provider, you know that finding the right support is crucial. When your challenges are complex, you may decide you need more than a single independent consultant; you may need the comprehensive resources of an entire consultancy firm.
But how can you be sure that a large enterprise operates with the same high standards you expect?
This is precisely why we created the C-CAF Enterprise Accreditation. It’s not just a logo; it’s a rigorous, top-to-bottom organisational audit that verifies the entire company's commitment to quality. When you choose a C-CAF Accredited Enterprise (like Delphi Care Solutions or SRG Care Consultancy), you are engaging a partner whose processes, policies, and people have met the highest benchmark in the sector.
So, what does that really mean for you? Here are the four pillars of assurance we verify, and the tangible benefits you receive.
1. Benefit: Your Report is Quality-Checked Before You See It
What we verify (The C-CAF Criteria):We check that the enterprise has a Review of Completed Works Policy. This policy must prove that all client-facing work (like mock inspections or audit reports) goes through a minimum of two stages of internal review before it is finalised.
What this means for you:This is perhaps the most significant benefit. The report you receive isn't just one person's opinion; it has been internally peer-reviewed and quality-checked for accuracy, objectivity, and actionable insights. This built-in quality control system minimises errors and guarantees a higher standard of work.
2. Benefit: 100% of their Team is C-CAF Vetted
What we verify (The C-CAF Criteria):The enterprise must have a Consultant Accreditation Policy stating that all consultants they employ or engage (whether PAYE or sub-contractor) will be individually accredited through the C-CAF framework.
What this means for you:You are protected from the "junior associate" risk. You have a 100% guarantee that every single person working on your service from that firm meets the C-CAF standard for individual expertise, ethics, and has had their DBS and insurance checked.
3. Benefit: Proven, Recent Success with Services Like Yours
What we verify (The C-CAF Criteria):The enterprise must provide two organisational testimonials from CQC-regulated customers who have used their services within the last 6 months.
What this means for you: You aren't just relying on a reputation built years ago. This criterion provides relevant, recent, and verifiable proof of client satisfaction. It confirms the enterprise is actively and successfully delivering results for services just like yours, right now.
4. Benefit: A Profound Level of Financial Assurance
What we verify (The C-CAF Criteria):The enterprise must provide evidence of a Comprehensive Insurance Policy, including a minimum of £5 million in professional indemnity coverage.
What this means for you: This provides a crucial layer of financial protection and peace of mind. It demonstrates the firm’s stability, accountability, and that they have the robust financial backing necessary to manage large-scale, complex projects.
When Should You Choose an Accredited Enterprise?
While our Accredited Independent Consultants are perfect for when you need a direct, personal relationship with a specific specialist, an Accredited Enterprise is often the ideal choice when:
-
Your project is large, complex, or requires multiple specialisms.
-
You need the highest level of built-in quality assurance and peer review.
-
You require a partner with significant financial and resource backing.
Ultimately, C-CAF provides the verification for both. Whether you choose an independent expert or an accredited firm, our framework is here to ensure you can make your choice with total confidence.
