User Responsibilities

While we strive to ensure the accuracy, relevance, and timeliness of our policies, it is imperative for users to understand and accept the following responsibilities:

Due Diligence: Users must conduct their own due diligence by thoroughly reviewing and assessing the suitability, completeness, and accuracy of the policies for their specific operational and regulatory needs.

Regular Updates: Users are responsible for staying informed about the latest care regulations and guidelines issued by relevant governing bodies, including but not limited to the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) and Care Inspectorate Scotland (CI). It is the user’s responsibility to regularly check policies accordingly to maintain compliance.
