To carry out any pre-inspection self-audit, it is important first to understand the regulatory framework against which inspectors assess compliance. The Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOE) are the tools which inspectors use to assess compliance with the corresponding regulations, and to award a quality rating. The rating given represents the extent to which the service has complied with the legal requirements, or has failed.
The KLOE prompts
The KLOE (2017) S6: “Are lessons learned and improvements made when things go wrong?” is a new KLOE. It has five sections, applicable to all services.
