What buyers often ask for

In England, providers of regulated activities such as personal care must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC); Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own regulators, including the Care Inspectorate, Care Inspectorate Wales and the RQIA. Staff working with children or vulnerable adults usually need enhanced checks (DBS, PVG in Scotland or AccessNI in Northern Ireland). Requirements vary from contract to contract: the tender documents are the final word.
