Changes to conditions and locations
We place conditions on the registrations of providers. In most cases, these are routine and define the locations where the provider may operate or set limitations upon the service.
Where we have concerns about the quality or safety of the service, however, we may also set other conditions requiring improvements and setting timescales for them to be made.
The guidance document below explains how you can vary or remove these conditions, including by adding or removing locations.

How to tell us if you move to a new office
You must tell us if a service you run moves to an address that's different from one on your certificate.
If you provide personal care or you run a digital healthcare service, you can tell us by applying to remove your old location and add a new one.
- You must apply to remove and add locations for both your provider registration and manager registrations.
- Send us all the applications together.
- If we are already taking action to remove locations from your registration, you do not need to apply to have them removed again.
If your head office is also changing, you must also send us a notification form.
Care homes: vaccination as a condition of deployment (VCOD)
Update: CQC registration and VCOD (Vaccination as a condition of deployment)
As of 15 March 2022, the UK Government has revoked VCOD regulations for health and social care workers.
This means you no longer need to submit a VCOD declaration form to us when you:
- register as a new provider or registered manager
- update an existing registration.
See more about what the revocation of VCOD regulations means for you
