I have put together some relevant links for you which will be useful for registering a Service with CQC. Your first step would be to register a company name, which you can do online at http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ You can begin to fill out the CQC application form which you can download from the CQC website – http://www.cqc.org.uk/organisations-we-regulate/registering-first-time/how-register/step-step-guide-applying-new-provider . You will need policies to go with the form (you can use our policies) Your Registered Manager should apply for a Countersigned DBS Check (formerly a CRB check) through CQC by visiting https://cqc.disclosures.co.uk/ Once you have submitted your CQC application form, you would need to wait for another 6 to 8 weeks (potentially up to 12 weeks due to COVID) for a CQC interview with your Registered Manager. During this time you will be working on some extra documents mentioned at the bottom of this email. We provide a Compliance Management System which includes Care Documents for start-ups like yourselves. You will have access to New Business policies, procedures, forms, templates etc created by QCS, they will be fully customised with your company information and then constantly reviewed and updated by us with the latest CQC changes.

    Sounds like a very thoughtful idea! Will this be an actual home they live in or somewhere to go after college, work etc.?
