Care compliance in East Sussex
East Sussex combines the vibrant city of Brighton and Hove with the coastal towns of Eastbourne and Hastings and rural areas across the High Weald. It has an older-than-average population, particularly along the coast, and pockets of significant deprivation in Hastings. East Sussex County Council and Brighton and Hove City Council commission across this varied geography.
Common challenges for East Sussex providers
- Serving an older coastal population with complex needs
- Addressing significant deprivation in areas such as Hastings
- Coordinating between East Sussex County Council and Brighton and Hove
- Recruiting staff in a high-cost coastal region

Frequently asked questions — East Sussex
Common questions from care providers across East Sussex about CQC compliance and MyCareAudit.
Does the platform cover both East Sussex and Brighton and Hove commissioning?
Yes. Brighton and Hove is a unitary authority separate from East Sussex County Council. Our CQC-aligned audits generate evidence that supports quality reviews for either commissioner.
Is MyCareAudit suited to the ageing coastal population?
Yes. Towns like Eastbourne have significant older populations. Our templates cover dementia, falls, medication and end-of-life care in the depth inspectors expect.
How does it help providers in more deprived areas like Hastings?
Our safeguarding, medication and health monitoring templates help you evidence responsive, safe care for people with complex needs common in more deprived coastal communities.
“The AI findings analysis is like having a compliance consultant on call. It catches things we would have missed.”
