Our decision

At the end of the assessment, we will make one of the following decisions on your registration.

  • Grant your application (this means we approve it): we will issue a certificate of registration.
  • Grant with conditions: by law, we may set (‘impose’) certain conditions on residential services in relation to age range, gender, service user category, service category and the number of places. In exceptional circumstances, we may impose other conditions as we see fit. It is a criminal offence to fail to meet a condition.
  • Refuse it: if you do not meet the fitness requirements for registration, we will propose to refuse the registration.

Once we have granted registration, we have the power to do the following.

  • Impose conditions: in exceptional circumstances, we may impose further conditions on any registration.
  • Amend (‘vary’) conditions: we may vary or remove any condition we have imposed. You also have the right to ask us to amend or remove a condition and will need to do this by filling in an application form and submitting it to us along with a fee. You can download a variation form from our website or you can ask for a form from your regional registration team.
  • Cancel: we will work with you to try and improve your service. If you do not make the necessary improvements and meet the regulations we will consider taking enforcement action which may lead us to cancel your registration. Find out more about enforcement.

If you disagree with our proposal to refuse or impose conditions on your application, you have 28 days to make a written statement (called a representation) to a CSCI regional director. If the director does not agree with your representation, you have 28 days to appeal to the Care Standards Tribunal.
