You must include all these documents with your application.
We will return your application if you do not do so.
Save each document as a separate file. Name each file so we know what it is. For example 'list of policies and procedures' or 'financial viability statement'.
- Financial viability statement (unless you're an NHS provider)
-
You must include a financial viability statement with your application.
This confirms you have the finances to provide your service and keep it running, as set out in your statement of purpose.
We recommend you use the CQC financial viability template.
- Organisational structure
-
This is the management structure of your business. It outlines who is responsible for each area of the business - who they report to and who reports to them.
It should show how your business will meet its goals. Each employee will know exactly what their role is and how they fit into the organisation.
- Public and employer liability insurance quote or certificate
-
You must have insurance and suitable indemnity arrangements to cover potential liabilities arising from death, injury, or other causes, loss or damage to property, and other financial risks.
Complete the insurance supporting information request form to explain these arrangements and send it with your application.
- Staffing structure
-
Your staffing structure should detail:
- the different roles
- numbers of staff in each role
- qualifications for each role
- responsibilities for each role.
This will show us how you will make sure the service is supported by a suitably qualified, competent, skilled and experienced workforce - Regulation 18.
- Statement of purpose
-
The statement of purpose is a legally required document that must include a range of information about you and the care services you will provide.
We may return, reject or refuse your application if your statement of purpose does not include all the required information and match your application.
Your statement of purpose must include at least all the information listed under Schedule 3 of the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009 (as amended 2012).
