CQC consultancy for every kind of care service.
Whether you are starting a brand-new agency or strengthening an established service, we work alongside you: practically, honestly, in plain English. We support providers across the full range of regulated adult social care.
Support from start-up to ongoing improvement.
Starting a care business
Service model, company set-up considerations, regulated activity planning, policies, staffing and registration readiness.
CQC registration support
Provider and registered manager applications, Statement of Purpose, evidence packs, policy consistency and interview preparation.
Mock inspections & assessment readiness
Single Assessment Framework review, quality statement evidence checks, written findings and prioritised action planning.
Improvement & action planning
Gap analysis, action ownership, governance rhythm and follow-up checks after concerns, assessment findings or internal audits.
Ongoing compliance support
Retained policy, audit, governance and evidence support so standards stay live through the year.
We support providers through registration and beyond.
The work is tailored to the service type, regulated activities, people supported and governance arrangements. No guaranteed outcomes; independent of the CQC.
