Our provider portal is new and we're still developing this service
If you're a registered provider, you can use the provider portal to submit some notifications and manage some aspects of your registration.
In the future, we plan to make more services available online.
What you can do on the provider portal
Submit some types of notification
- Allegations of abuse (safeguarding)
- Death of a detained mental health patient
- Death of a person using the service
- Events that stop a service running safely and properly
- Serious injury to a person using the service
- Outcome of an application to deprive a person of their liberty (DoLS)
- Police involvement in an incident
- Unauthorised absence
You must continue to submit all other types of notification by email.
Manage your provider portal account
- Nominated individuals can now create user accounts for colleagues who do not work in a regulatory role.
Manage your registration
- Register as a new provider
- Register as a new manager

- Cancel your manager registration
Important
From 18 November 2024, you cannot use the provider portal to register with us
This is because of development work to improve the service.
If you're submitting your application after 18 November, you must use the Word form and email it to us.
If you’ve already started an application on our provider portal, you must submit it before 18 November or your application will not be processed.

Nominated individuals and registered managers
Check your provider registration certificate. Nominated individuals and registered managers are listed on your registration.
Main partner
You're the main partner in your partnership if:
- you're listed as the main contact partner in your provider registration.
- your name is on the correspondence you receive from us (including formal notices).
Responsible individual
If you registered with CQC as an individual (this is sometimes called a 'sole trader'), you're a responsible individual.
The email address you use to create your account must be:
- your email address that's currently registered with CQC
- unique to you (you cannot use an email address shared with other people)
We ask for this so we can check your details match our records.
!
If you have an account for the older version of our provider portal (pre-February 2024), you'll need to create a new account. Your old login details will not work.
