Crisis support service

The CQC issues Warning Notices when a registered provider fails to meet legal requirements, leading to care quality falling below the required standards. These legal obligations are outlined in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and other relevant legislation for registered providers.

The CQC has the discretion to establish a reasonable timeframe for compliance, which is based on the level of risk to the safety and well-being of service users.

If you want to challenge the contents of a Warning Notice or believe there are extenuating circumstances, you have the right to appeal. To do so, you must submit your appeal in writing to the CQC within the timeframe specified in the Notice. At Affinity Care Advisory, we assist you throughout this process, reviewing your appeal to ensure it is thorough and effective.

Failing to comply with a Warning Notice within the given timeframe may lead to further regulatory action by the CQC, including enforcement measures such as fines, prosecution, or even the cancellation of your registration. It is important to address the issues raised in the Notice quickly to prevent further escalation.

In some cases, you may request an extension to comply with a Warning Notice. To do so, you must provide valid reasons for the request and a proposed timeline for compliance. The CQC will evaluate your request based on the seriousness of the issues, the potential impact on service users, and the reasonableness of the proposed timeline.
