QCS partners with Weightmans to strengthen care provider support

Quality Compliance Systems (QCS) is partnering with law firm Weightmans to strengthen support available to care providers as they navigate workforce challenges, employment legislation and broader legal and regulatory change.

Through the partnership, the pair will provide access to adult social care-specific guidance, practical resources, legal knowledge and care sector insight, helping care leaders, HR professionals, and service operators navigate challenges with evidence-based support.

QCS, an RLDatix company, is a provider of compliance, care management and learning for the sector, supporting over 335,000 providers and staff across more than 7,200 locations. Weightmans acts for independent sector providers nationwide, as well as NHS providers and commissioners, local authorities, regulators and indemnifiers.

‘Our mission has always been to help organisations deliver safe, high-quality care through confidence, consistency and evidence-based best practice. By partnering with Weightmans, we’re strengthening that commitment, combining trusted compliance support with specialist legal expertise to give care leaders the practical guidance they need to make informed decisions, reduce risk and support their teams effectively,’ said Nikki Walker, QCS chief executive officer.

‘Together, we’re creating an even stronger support network for care providers as they adapt to an increasingly complex operating environment.’

Ben Troke, partner in Weightmans’ healthcare team, added: ‘There has never been a more challenging environment for health and care providers, dealing with workplace pressures, changing legislation and an evolving regulatory regime, in a very tight financial climate, and under greater scrutiny than ever. Our collaboration with QCS is a step change in equipping care providers to better respond to these challenges head-on.’
