CQC Statement of Purpose Workbook

Create a CQC-Compliant Statement of Purpose with Confidence

The Statement of Purpose is one of the most important documents within your CQC registration application and is often one of the first documents reviewed by CQC registration inspectors. It helps CQC understand who your organisation is, what services you intend to provide, who you support and how your service will operate.

Many registration applications are delayed because the Statement of Purpose contains inconsistencies, vague descriptions or information that does not align with the rest of the application.
