CQC Statutory Notifications Procedure and Log

About this document

What it’s for

Registered providers must tell CQC about certain events, such as deaths, serious injuries, abuse allegations, police incidents, DoLS outcomes and events that stop the service running safely. Late or missed notifications are a common inspection finding and can lead to fines. This procedure and log make sure nothing is missed.

When to use it

  • As part of the registered manager’s and senior staff’s induction
  • Whenever a notifiable event happens
  • At audit and before inspection

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
