Why CQC Queen Academy exists
Registration is a maze. Most providers walk it alone.
Applications get rejected for avoidable gaps. Interview invitations arrive with no idea what will be asked. Policies get bought off the shelf and fail the first read-through because they were never tailored to the service.
CQC Queen Academy focuses on the underserved part of the journey: getting registered in the first place, with resources built for new providers, Registered Managers, Nominated Individuals and care entrepreneurs.
