Application form confusion for Registered Managers

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has a tendency to change their application forms for Registered Managers, Nominated Individuals and for CQC Provider Registeration on an ongoing basis. Understandably this causes confusion and complications for individuals and can also be very frustrating if you happen to have completed your application form early on in your CQC Registration preparation, and then find that just as you are about to submit your full registration request, one or more of the application forms have changed. Regardless, the CQC have said that they have now stopped accepting old versions of any application forms submitted to them, and have warned providers that it is imperative that they download new versions of the forms each time they make an application.

So be sure to check the CQC website to ensure that you are using the correct application form before you post off your registration application. The latest round of application forms were updated and posted onto the CQC website at the beginning of April 2011.
