TuDu

When you think of Tudu, the first thing that comes to mind is risk assessments. And for good reason — every risk assessment you create in Tudu automatically generates the relevant checklists that keep your environment safe. But safety isn’t the only part of great care.

That’s where Quality Assurance (QA) tasks come in.

‍

What are QA tasks?

Unlike risk assessments, QA tasks aren’t linked to a specific hazard. They’re created independently, giving you the flexibility to:

· Add them to any existing risk assessment checklist, or

· Build fully custom checklists made up entirely of QA tasks — like an “End of Day” routine.

Think of them as smart reminders for the little but important things that keep your service running smoothly.

‍

Why do QA tasks matter?

Care and activity settings are busy places. Staff have a lot to think about — from safeguarding to engagement, health needs to housekeeping. It’s natural that certain tasks might slip through the cracks, especially for new team members.

QA tasks help fill that gap by reminding your team about the details that make a big difference to quality and experience:

· Emptying bins before they overflow

· Restocking toilet rolls and paper towels

· Making sure a window that’s often left open gets closed

· Checking the soap dispenser while you’re already in the bathroom for a safety check

These aren’t risks in themselves, but they elevate the environment for both staff and service users.

‍

Seamless integration with risk assessments

The real strength of QA tasks lies in how smoothly they fit into your existing workflows.

For example, during your daily toilet risk assessment you’re already checking things like:

· Is the floor dry and safe?

· Are the water temperature regulators working?

Adding a QA task means you can also remind staff to check:

· Is there enough soap in the dispenser?

· Are the paper towels stocked up?

This creates one streamlined checklist that covers both safety and quality — without doubling the workload.

Scheduling made simple

Just like risks, QA tasks in Tudu can be scheduled to repeat exactly when they’re needed. Some actions are daily — like checking the bins or closing windows at the end of the day. Others are weekly, such as a Tuesday reminder to put the blue bin out.

Tudu makes this dynamic: each task appears at the right time, in the right place, with no need to remember or chase. Staff can focus on getting the job done rather than worrying about when it’s due.

Supporting staff, improving experience

QA tasks aren’t just about ticking boxes. They:

· Support new staff in learning what’s expected throughout the day

· Reduce mistakes and oversights

· Help teams build consistent routines

· Enhance the daily experience for children, families, and service users

In short, they transform the way you use checklists — from a safety tool into a quality tool.

Final thought

Risk assessments keep people safe. QA tasks help you go further, ensuring that every detail of your environment supports a high-quality, positive experience. With flexible scheduling built in, Tudu gives your team the right reminder at the right time — creating a culture where safety and quality go hand in hand.
