FAQ – CQC Registration

Q1. Who needs to register with CQC?

Anyone providing regulated activities such as personal care, nursing care, or treatment of disease in England must register with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) before delivering services.

Q2. How long does the registration process take?

CQC typically takes 8–12 weeks to process a complete application, but this can vary based on the quality of documentation and readiness for the Fit Person Interview.

Q3. What documents are required for registration?

You will need a Statement of Purpose, Policies and Procedures, Business Plan, Safeguarding Protocols, and evidence of a suitable Registered Manager and premises.

Q4. What happens if my application is rejected?

CQC may ask for clarifications or improvements. PolicyBase supports you in resubmissions, strengthening weak areas to meet inspection standards.

Q5. Can PolicyBase complete the whole application for me?
