Published on: 31 March 2011
The Compliance Framework sets out the approach we are taking in 2011/12 to assess the compliance of foundation trusts with their terms of authorisation and to intervene where necessary. Following the changes we have made since the publication of the Framework in March 2011, we have published an updated version. Further details can be found below.

The Compliance Framework 2011-12 came into effect on 1 April 2011 and forms the basis on which foundation trusts’ annual plan submissions and subsequent in-year reports should be made.
The framework was updated on 19 September 2011 to incorporate a number of changes to our regulatory approach since the framework was published in March 2011, for example clarifying our application of CQC concerns, revising our definitions of mental health indicators and changes to the A&E clinical quality indicators. We have also incorporated a number of clarifications from the Compliance Framework frequently asked questions.
For ease of use, new text is highlighted in red and text that is no longer relevant has been struck through.
Our consultation on changes to the Compliance Framework for 2011/12 closed on 25 February 2011. The summary of consultation responses can be found here.
