This policy statement provides guidance for registration managers and inspectors assessing providers of services for people with learning disability and/or autism. It aims to ensure the Care Quality Commission (CQC) have a consistent approach to registration of services for people with a learning disability and/or autism and also informs providers, people who use services and their families and carers of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) approach to registration. It applies to three key areas of registration: specialist hospital provision, such as an assessment and treatment unit for people with a learning disability and/or autism; opening a new care home or location; and new applications for registration and applications to change a location’s service type, for example from hospital services to care home or supported living services. Case studies are included to provide examples of applications that are likely to be approved, and application that are unlikely to be granted. Providers of services are more likely to have their application for registration granted if they can demonstrate how their model of support is: is in line with Building the Right Support and the accompanying service model, built on evidence-based care; and is in line with national policy.
