Do I have to register for cqc to open a 16+ leaving care home supporting young people transitioning from care?

You will need to be registered with the CQC in order to open a leaving care home for 16+ year olds. This is because the CQC regulates all social care services in England, including those that support young people transitioning from care.

Opening a leaving care home entails a great deal of responsibility, as you would be responsible for the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable young people. Therefore, it is essential that you meet all the CQC’s standards and requirements in order to provide a high quality service.

If you are not registered with the CQC, you will not be able to open a leaving care home. You can find out more about the registration process on the CQC website.
