Regulation 15 - Suitability of Premises & Equipment

Ensure your location is suitable, safe, accessible, and ready before CQC review your premises.

Regulation 15 CQC Site Visit - Suitability of Premises and Equipment.

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.

  • ~ Most Common Reasons
  • Poor layout and service flow
    1
  • Inadequate accessibility
    2
  • Weak infection prevention and control arrangements
    3
  • Insufficient privacy and dignity controls,
    4
  • Lack of equipment checks, servicing records, maintenance logs, or manufacturer guidance
    5
  • Premises not aligned with intended service model.

What is CQC Regulation 15?

CQC Regulation 15 relates to the suitability of premises and equipment. Providers must ensure that premises and equipment used to deliver regulated activities are clean, secure, suitable for purpose, properly used, properly maintained, and appropriately located.

Is a CQC site visit the same as an inspection?

No. For new registrations, CQC may review premises as part of assessing whether the location is suitable. This is not always the same as a full inspection, but it can still affect whether CQC is satisfied that your service can operate safely.

Who needs a Regulation 15 Site Visit?

This service is suitable for providers applying for CQC registration, changing location, adding new regulated activities, opening clinics, preparing for inspection, or checking whether their premises are suitable before committing to a property.

What do you check during the Site Visit?

We review the layout, accessibility, privacy, dignity, hygiene, infection control arrangements, safety risks, equipment suitability, storage, signage, service-user flow, staff areas, and whether the premises align with your intended service model.

Can you help before I sign a lease or commit to a property?

Yes. This is one of the best times to use the service. A pre-commitment review can help you avoid taking on a premises that may require expensive changes or may not be suitable for your regulated activity.

Do you work with builders, architects, and suppliers?

Yes, but our role is regulatory and operational. We do not replace architects, contractors, fire specialists, or building control professionals. We can help them understand what the premises must support from a CQC Regulation 15 perspective.

Will this guarantee CQC approval?

No ethical consultant can guarantee CQC approval. What this service does is reduce avoidable risk by identifying premises and equipment issues before CQC raises them.

Who is this suitable for?

All care providers are going to be accessed for this be it social care, primary care, dental care, community care, secondary care, or miscellaneous.
