Care and Support Planning policy
For CQC-registered domiciliary care services · version 1.0 · last reviewed 1 June 2026
Turning an assessment into a working care plan is what this policy addresses, including what a good plan contains and how it is co-produced with the person. Plans need to be clear enough for any worker to follow safely, and the policy covers consent, capacity and agreement, keeping the plan current, and daily notes. A plan template is annexed.

Common questions
- Is the care and support planning policy CQC-aligned?
- Yes. It is written and reviewed by practising UK compliance consultants against current CQC expectations, and supports the fundamental standards at Regulations 9, 12, 17 and 20. It is a controlled starting-point document that you adapt to your own service — you remain the accountable provider.
- Can I download and edit this policy?
- Yes. It downloads as Word (.docx) or PDF with your company name, registered manager, CQC ID and address already filled in on the cover page and throughout the document. The Word version is fully editable.
- Can I buy this policy on its own?
- Policies are sold as a complete library rather than individually, because CQC expects a coherent set that cross-references properly — a single policy in isolation creates gaps. The domiciliary care library contains 141 policies and can be bought outright as a one-off purchase and kept permanently.
- How often is it reviewed?
- The library is re-reviewed every six months and after any material regulatory change. This policy was last reviewed 1 June 2026, and is at version 1.0. Updates reach you automatically, so downloads always reflect the current version.
