What is the Impartial Feedback Service?

Our Impartial Feedback Service (IFS) is the most effective way of gathering open and honest feedback from key stakeholders. We then utilise this valuable insight from within your service to create an appropriate development plan for you to push forward the quality of your provision.

Why use our Impartial Feedback Service?

Our Impartial Feedback Service (IFS) is available to all HCPA members and effectively captures, analyses and acts on impartial feedback, which is hugely beneficial to your business and is an excellent quality evaluation and improvement method to see how your organisation is performing.

By completing the IFS, you will be conforming to Health & Social Care Act Regulation 17: “Providers must seek and act on feedback from people using the service, those acting on their behalf, staff and other stakeholders so they can continually evaluate the service and drive improvement.”

Please note: Hertfordshire County Council contracted services are required to complete an impartial feedback service every two years.

“The feedback was excellent in that it gave us a picture of how our staff, residents, relatives and other professionals feel about our home. We will take all the points raised on board and work towards improving our service.”
