CQC Site Visit
Regulation 15 - Suitability of Premises & Equipment
Ensure your location is suitable, safe, accessible, and ready before CQC review your premises.
Why most providers
fail site visits?
Most premises issues are avoidable, but only if they are identified before CQC raises them.
Many providers focus heavily on policies, forms, and business plans, but underestimate the physical environment. CQC will not just assess what you say you will deliver; they will assess whether your location, layout, equipment, facilities, and operational setup can safely support the regulated activity you are applying for.
