CQC Regulation 17 & 18 Readiness Checklist

A practical self-check for good governance and staffing evidence

A two-page, evidence-led checklist for registered managers and nominated individuals. Work through Regulation 17 (Good governance) and Regulation 18 (Staffing) line by line and mark what you could evidence today, on demand — the way an inspector would ask for it. Grounded in the Care Quality Commission’s published guidance and mapped to the single assessment framework.

What is inside

Built for care providers, not generic HR teams. Every section is grounded in CQC inspection patterns.

Regulation 17 self-check: records, audit cycle, feedback acted on, risks and actions
Regulation 18 self-check: safe staffing, DBS, right to work, training, supervision, registrations
A "what an inspector may ask to see" reference table
Written for care providers, not generic HR teams
Grounded in CQC’s published Reg 17 and Reg 18 guidance
Why this matters

Governance and staffing findings rarely come from poor care — they come from evidence that exists but cannot be produced on the day. Any line you cannot evidence now is a finding waiting to happen, and a place to focus before an inspection.
