UKHCA's Regulatory Resources

UKHCA is proud to present our Regulatory Resources area for members which links our resources to specific standards and outcomes. We expect that the page will prove useful to members when looking for more information in a particular regulatory area or refreshing your policies.

We will continually update this area when we produce new resources specifically related to a regulatory topic.

Guidance about Compliance, Essential standards of quality and safety England

The Care Quality Commission regulates adult social care providers and NHS trusts in England. All adult social care providers will have to re-register with the Care Quality Commission between April and October 2010 to state their compliance with the new Essential Standards for Quality and Safety. The Essential Standards replace the Domiciliary Care National Minimum Standards in England and they must be adhered to by providers who are providing a regulated activity.
