- CQC's current application forms include additional information for supported-living services providing personal care.
- Document the legal entity delivering care and check the activity and exemption rules for the actual arrangements.
- Specialist services for autistic people or people with a learning disability may need additional application evidence.
Suggested evidence priorities
These are practical audit recommendations. They are not a claim that CQC requires an identical checklist from every provider.
- Care responsibilities, consent and coordination with other organisations.
- Support plans, individual risks and changes in need.
- Staff competence and supervision across dispersed settings.
- Safeguarding, restrictive-practice review and escalation.
- Accessible feedback and evidence that concerns led to action.
