2025 Awards Headline Sponsors - RDB Star Rating
RDB Star Rating supports care providers committed to exceptional quality care in a sector facing significant challenges. Offering high quality training resources to enhance service standards and ensure continuous improvement.
Sue Brand - Managing Director, RDB Star Rating
The RDB Star Rating system was designed specifically to assess the level of care and services delivered in a residential care establishment and to drive up standards. This benchmarking scheme was initiated to help manage the care sector at a time of crisis and to give recognition to those organisations that offer a high standard of care. Furthermore, the scheme allows local authorities to divert resources and placements towards quality providers.
RDB products and assessments are based on the principles of best practice benchmarking. Since its inception in 1997, RDB has become the first company in the UK to be accredited by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service), as an inspection body, to the International Standard ISO/IEC 17020:2012 for Adult Social Care.
The RDB detailed assessment tool was designed based on the key factors that impact the lives of clients in the care home. This client-focused approach encompasses a diverse range of care standards, ranging from the way personal care is delivered to the management of personnel.
