    Services to Support Social Care Providers

     If you are intending to start up a new care business targeted at meeting the needs of individual service users, and which will involve you and your staff interacting directly with them, you will only be permitted under law to do so if you are a registered provider with the Care Quality Commission.

    We can help you with a structured approach to registration.

    The process of registration is not unduly complicated, but it emphatically does require applicants to provide a very thorough submission which meets CQC’s exacting standards in full. Included in a long list of items are: detailed policies and procedures; categories of all intended service users; disclosure about the principals, partners and the registered manager(s) together with DBS checks, and evidence of need.

    With the right expertise and knowledge, a professionally prepared submission will fast-track your company’s registration, and avoid the necessity of having to go through the process again because important items have been overlooked, or you have failed to provide the information required.

    The bespoke service we offer is for clients intending to operate in the following areas of health and social care:

    i. Supported Living
    ii; Residential Care/Nursing Care
    iii. Domiciliary Care
    iv. Outreach Services in the Community.

    If any of the above is in your intended field, and you are at the point of needing CQC registration, our CQC Advisory Team is ready to help. For a free initial consultation, please just give us a call. All enquiries are treated in the strictest confidence.
