YOUR OPERATIONAL POLICY LIBRARY
236policies & supporting documents
12 categories
Explore our social care policy index by category. Select a category to see its documents; select it again to close the list.
Arrange your operational policies well before your CQC interview, so you and your Registered Manager have time to read the relevant documents, familiarise yourselves with them and understand how they apply to your service.
Registration includes your initial CQC registration policies. The separate Policy Management Portal subscription provides access to the wider operational library and ongoing updates. You can also arrange suitable operational policies elsewhere.
The index includes policies, forms, registers, guidance and other supporting documents. Your relevant documents depend on your care model, activities and the people you support; not every item applies to every provider. Original document reference numbers are retained.
Compare packages and policy subscription prices ↑YOUR APPLICATION, STEP BY STEP
Five clear steps take your service information through review, drafting and approval to a final application pack.
You will be assigned a dedicated application manager to guide your preparation, clarify outstanding information, coordinate drafts and keep you informed throughout the process.
Complete the services form we provide during onboarding. Tell us about your provider, proposed Registered Manager, the homecare service you intend to run and any documents you already have.
Your application manager reviews your information and maps the regulated activities, service types, age ranges, service user bands and specialist needs, locations and relevant management roles. We check that your application and statement of purpose describe the same service.
We draft your provider and Registered Manager applications and the supporting documents in your agreed package, using the information you have supplied. We raise any further questions needed to complete the drafts.
You check the applications and supporting documents, confirm that the details are accurate and give us your feedback. We work through the agreed changes with you before you approve the final version.
We finalise the approved forms and supporting documents so your application is ready to submit within 10 working days, from start to finish. The clock pauses while we await your information or review, as explained in the timescale section below.
Our review follows CQC’s provider application guidance ↗. The services form is supplied during onboarding; an online intake form is not yet enabled on this preview.
YOUR INFORMATION CHECKLIST
Your dedicated application manager will explain the details needed and help you work through any gaps. Provide accurate information and use the agreed secure channel for personal documents.
We prepare the applications from your information. You review and approve the completed drafts.
Provide the business and contact details needed for the provider application, the proposed Registered Manager’s application details, and information about your service, location and management arrangements.
Provide an up-to-date CV showing relevant experience, qualifications and employment history. Your application manager will ask about any gaps or further details needed for the application.
Provide the relevant Enhanced DBS certificate details or evidence for the proposed Registered Manager and any other applicants who need a CQC registration DBS check. We will clarify the applicable requirements with you.
CQC’s DBS requirements ↗As preparation progresses: respond to information requests and review and approve your drafts. Your checklist will also identify any existing policies or other evidence needed for your particular application.
CQC fees, obtaining DBS checks, staffing, premises and third-party charges remain separate unless your written agreement expressly includes them. The 10-working-day target covers our preparation work, not time waiting for a DBS result or CQC’s registration decision.
YOUR PREPARATION TIMESCALE
10working days
Start to Finish
Our target for your agreed registration-document preparation is 10 working days from the agreed deposit or full payment being recorded.
This target covers our agreed document preparation, not CQC’s assessment or registration decision. Policy updates continue under your subscription; optional interview coaching is scheduled for when you need it.
EXPLORE THE DETAILS

NEW TO HOMECARE?
UNDERSTAND THE SERVICE
Domiciliary care—also called homecare—is care and support delivered in a person’s own home. The person stays at home while care workers visit, rather than moving into a care home.
Visits can include help with washing, dressing, toileting or eating and drinking when someone cannot manage these themselves.
Care visits are planned around the person’s assessed needs and preferences, with clear arrangements for recording and communicating changes.
Your care model sets out who you will support, the visits your team will deliver and how you will manage the service.
AN EVERYDAY EXAMPLE
A fictional illustration, not a client story or a prescribed care plan.
Meet Margaret.
Margaret lives in her own bungalow. After a period of illness, she wants to stay at home but needs help with parts of her daily routine. A homecare agency agrees a visiting schedule around her assessed needs and preferences.
A care worker helps Margaret wash and get dressed, then supports her with breakfast.
A visit might include collecting shopping and spending time talking with her.
A care worker returns to help her use the toilet and change into night clothes.
Margaret receives personal care in her own home. The agency needs to prepare its people, documents and operating arrangements for the service it intends to provide.
OUR SERVICE APPROACH
A named application manager guides your preparation, coordinates your documents and helps you resolve outstanding questions about your homecare service.
See your selected support, one-off fees and policy subscription separately. Confirm deliverables and responsibilities before proceeding.
Use suitable existing documents, arrange services elsewhere or add coaching. Interview preparation with us stays optional.
