If CQC takes civil enforcement action the relevant registered person has the right to make representations to us.
You can make a representation if we:
- issue a Warning Notice
- impose, vary or remove conditions of registration
- suspend registration, or extend the period of suspension of registration
- cancel registration.
Warning Notices
A registered person must make representations against a warning notice in writing within 10 working days of CQC serving the notice.
Read our guidance on making representations against a warning notice:
Enforcement guidance: Warning notices
Please note: there is no right of appeal to the First-Tier Tribunal against a warning notice; you can only make representations to us about it.
Please send your representations form by email to HSCA_Representations@cqc.org.uk.
Notice of proposal
A registered person can make a representation against a notice of proposal before we decide whether to adopt it and serve a notice of decision. You must make a representation within 28 days of CQC serving the notice.
If we issue a notice of decision, a provider can appeal about it to the First-tier Tribunal.
Read our guidance about making representations against a notice of proposal.
Please send your representations form by email to HSCA_Representations@cqc.org.uk.
