Driving Up Quality Code (Driving Up Quality Alliance)

Summary

The Driving Up Quality Alliance have developed a code committing to quality improvements, largely as a response to the Winterbourne View care home failings. Health and social care providers and commissioners are being encouraged to sign-up to this code.

Health and social care providers, and commissioners, are invited by the Alliance to publish details of their own steps to improve quality.
