Tell us about your situation and we will be in touch to discuss how we can help.
We recently supported a provider who had received a notice of the CQC's decision to cancel their registration, following a history of non-compliance. We guided them on how to appeal the decision through the First-tier Tribunal and how to seek appropriate legal representation, and we carried out a mock inspection to identify the gaps in their service, helping them be as prepared as possible should the appeal be acknowledged and the CQC re-inspect.
Act immediately. A warning notice sets a fixed timescale for you to demonstrate compliance, and failing to meet it can lead to further enforcement action. Review the notice carefully, identify exactly what the CQC requires, and begin building your evidence of improvement. Working with an experienced consultant can help you prioritise the right actions and respond within the required timeframe.
In many cases, yes. Before the CQC make a final decision, you can submit written representations setting out your case, and for a warning notice you have 10 working days to do so. After a decision, you can appeal to an independent tribunal (the First-tier Tribunal). We help you understand your options, meet the deadlines, and build the strongest possible case.
We treat enforcement cases as urgent. Once you contact us, we will review your enforcement notice and assess your compliance position as quickly as possible. Given the time-sensitive nature of enforcement action, we prioritise these cases to ensure you can begin responding immediately. The quickest way to reach us is via WhatsApp.
Conditions on registration are restrictions the CQC places on your service, such as limiting the number of people you can care for or requiring specific improvements within a set period. Cancellation is when the CQC seeks to remove your registration entirely, meaning you can no longer operate. Both are serious, and cancellation is one of the most serious actions the CQC can take.
Yes, in most cases. Once any appeals have been dealt with, CQC enforcement actions are published on the CQC website and are visible to the public. This includes warning notices, conditions on registration, and other regulatory action taken. Responding effectively and demonstrating improvement is essential not only for maintaining your registration but also for protecting your reputation.
