About us
Governance with a human heart
QC&A GROUP™ exists to make quality, compliance and assurance feel achievable for every health and social care provider — from a single service to a national group.
What we stand for
Rigorous, evidence-led governance that stands up to scrutiny — without the jargon.
Systems designed around the people receiving care and the people delivering it.
Leaders who know exactly where they stand and what to do next.
Founder
Ashley Howells
Ashley founded QC&A GROUP™ after years inside health and social care, watching brilliant teams struggle not because they didn't care, but because the governance around them was fragmented, punitive or simply unreadable.
Her belief is simple: inspection readiness should never come at the cost of compassion. Good governance protects people — and it should protect the workforce delivering that care too.
Everything on this platform is built the way Ashley wanted it as a leader: practical, emotionally intelligent, and honest about what it takes to improve.
