Common Inquiries

Regulatory Framework Answers

What is non-regulated supported living?

Supported living is non-regulated when personal care is not provided. The service focuses strictly on housing, tenancy support, and maintaining independence.

How do we prepare for commissioners?

Commissioners require robust proof of governance, financial stability, and clear risk management policies. Our frameworks are built to demonstrate this exact readiness.

Are these templates CQC aligned?

Yes. While non-regulated services do not require CQC registration, our frameworks align with CQC quality statements to ensure seamless future transitions.
