The news that this excellent scheme has been accredited by UKAS, gives the general public and care providers an independently accredited view of quality.

Professor Martin Green, Chief Executive of Care England
Drive up quality in service provision
LCA has had a long association with RDB Star Rating and continues to promote its benefits to providers. Quality in care is not something owned by public and quasi-public bodies with an inspection/quality monitoring role to be imposed externally. It is something which is at the heart of a provider’s commitment to delivering quality care and support throughout the organisation. It gives a provider ownership of their quality processes. RDB Star Rating is an excellent means for a provider to make their commitment to quality visible and measurable
Paul Simic, Lancashire Care Association
