Understanding CQC Registration Requirements

CQC registration requires comprehensive documentation aligned with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

Core Documentation

Statement of Purpose, policies covering all regulated activities, risk registers, and audit frameworks tailored to your specific service type.

Registration Timeline

CQC typically responds within 7 days. Complete applications with proper documentation move through the process more efficiently.

Regulatory Compliance

Documentation must address Regulations 12 (Safe Care), 13 (Safeguarding), 17 (Governance), and all applicable fundamental standards.

The CQC Registration Journey

Understanding the registration process helps you prepare effectively and set realistic expectations.

1

Application Submission

Submit your Statement of Purpose, policies, and governance structure to CQC. Complete documentation prevents delays and follow-up requests.

2

Document Review (7 days)

CQC reviews your submission for completeness and regulatory alignment. They may request clarifications or additional evidence during this phase.

3

Interview & Assessment

Nominated Individual and potentially Registered Manager meet with CQC inspectors to discuss governance, safeguarding procedures, and operational plans.

4

Facility Inspection

CQC inspectors visit your premises to verify policies are implemented, staff are trained, and physical environment meets regulatory standards.

5

Registration Decision

CQC issues registration certificate with your approved regulated activities, or provides notice of any outstanding requirements to address.

DBS Requirements

Nominated Individuals require enhanced DBS checks (countersigned). Registered Managers need enhanced DBS certification. Processing time: 4-8 weeks.

Built by Former CQC Inspectors

Our documentation services are developed with deep understanding of CQC assessment criteria and regulatory expectations.

Regulation 17

25+ Tailored Documents

Comprehensive policies addressing all fundamental standards including safe care (Reg. 12), safeguarding (Reg. 13), and good governance (Reg. 17). Customized for your regulated activities.

Inspection Ready

Mock Inspection Guide

Evidence Tracker

Structured framework for organizing audit evidence, training records, and compliance documentation aligned with CQC assessment methodologies.

Regulatory Updates

As CQC guidance and regulatory requirements evolve, we update your documentation to maintain current compliance standards.

Understanding Governance Roles

CQC registration requires clear allocation of regulatory responsibilities between key roles.

Nominated Individual (NI)

The person legally responsible for supervising the management of the regulated activity. Required for all CQC registrations.

Responsibilities:
  • Overall regulatory compliance oversight
  • Ensuring fundamental standards are met
  • Liaison with CQC on statutory notifications
  • Supervision of Registered Manager (if appointed)
Requirements:
  • Enhanced DBS check (countersigned)
  • Fit and proper person assessment
  • Sufficient time and authority to fulfill duties

Registered Manager (RM)

The person responsible for day-to-day management of the regulated activity. Not always required - depends on service type and NI availability.

Responsibilities:
  • Daily operational management
  • Staff supervision and training coordination
  • Quality assurance and audit implementation
  • Incident management and reporting
Requirements:
  • Enhanced DBS certification
  • Relevant qualifications/experience
  • Fit and proper person assessment

When is a Registered Manager Required?

A Registered Manager may be required if the Nominated Individual cannot be present regularly for day-to-day management, or for certain service types where CQC mandates separate management. Many smaller practices operate with only a Nominated Individual who also manages daily operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical CQC registration timeline?+
CQC typically acknowledges applications within 7 days and reviews documentation for completeness. The full registration process includes document review, interviews with the Nominated Individual (and Registered Manager if applicable), and facility inspection. Timeline varies based on application completeness and service complexity, but complete applications generally progress more efficiently through the process.
What's the difference between a Nominated Individual and Registered Manager?+
The Nominated Individual (NI) is legally responsible for supervising the management of the regulated activity and is required for all registrations. A Registered Manager (RM) handles day-to-day operations and is not always required - it depends on the NI's availability for daily management and specific service type requirements. Many smaller practices operate with only an NI who also manages daily operations.
How does your documentation address specific CQC regulations?+
Our policies are structured to address the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, including Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment), Regulation 13 (Safeguarding), Regulation 17 (Good Governance), and all other fundamental standards. Each policy references the specific regulations it addresses and includes evidence frameworks aligned with CQC's key lines of enquiry (KLOEs).
Can I customize the documents for my specific service?+
Yes. You receive fully editable Word documents that you own permanently. We provide implementation guidance notes, and our support team assists with customization questions. The initial documents are already tailored to your service type, regulated activities, and governance structure based on information you provide during the assessment phase.
What documentation does CQC require for initial registration?+
CQC requires a comprehensive Statement of Purpose, policies addressing all fundamental standards (safeguarding, infection control, medicines management, GDPR, duty of candour, etc.), risk assessment frameworks, audit procedures, and governance documentation. Specific requirements vary by regulated activity - for example, GP practices need prescribing protocols, while aesthetics clinics need specific policies for botulinum toxin and dermal filler administration.
Do you provide support during the CQC interview process?+
Our Complete package includes mock inspection guides based on CQC's key lines of enquiry to help you prepare for inspector questions. The Enterprise package provides dedicated interview preparation sessions where we review likely questions, help you prepare evidence examples, and conduct practice interviews with former CQC inspectors.
How do regulatory updates work?+
As CQC guidance and regulatory requirements evolve, we update affected policies and provide revised versions. Complete and Enterprise packages include 3 months of regulatory update service. After this period, updates are available on a per-document basis or through extended update subscriptions.
What types of healthcare services do you support?+
We provide documentation for all CQC-regulated activities including: GP practices (Treatment of Disease, Disorder or Injury; Diagnostic & Screening), dental practices, aesthetics clinics (Surgical Procedures), mental health services, weight management clinics, care homes, domiciliary care, and specialist services. Each documentation set is customized for the specific regulated activities you provide.
Are payment plans available?+
Yes. Complete and Enterprise packages offer payment plans: 50% deposit, with the remaining balance split over 60 days (25% at 30 days, final 25% at 60 days). No interest charges apply. All prices exclude VAT, which is added at the standard rate.
