Templates, guides, and best practice notes
Instead of receiving everything at once, you get exactly what you need, when you need it. Each month builds on the last, creating manageable progress.
Having systems isn't enough — staff need time to use them. Our phased approach lets you implement, practice, and refine before moving forward.
By month 12, you've lived with your systems for long enough to demonstrate consistency — exactly what CQC looks for during inspection.
Monthly check-ins mean we can adjust the programme based on your progress, staffing changes, or unexpected challenges as they arise.

Ideally 3-6 months before you plan to submit your CQC registration application. This gives time to properly prepare your Statement of Purpose, policies, and systems without rushing.
That's fine! We can work with you at whatever stage you're at — even if you're still in the planning phase. Early preparation means a smoother registration process.
We provide guidance on CQC's expectations for premises suitability, but we're not architects or surveyors. We can point you toward the right requirements and considerations.
You'll have all the systems and documents you need to continue independently. You can also add ongoing policy update services or ad-hoc support as needed.
Yes! We support care homes (residential and nursing), domiciliary care, supported living, specialist services, and more. Everything is tailored to your specific service type.
Important: Our assessment service provides predictive estimates to help care homes prepare for CQC inspections. Predictions are not guarantees and actual inspection outcomes may vary. We are an independent service and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing the Care Quality Commission.
