Compliance Notices

Compliance Notices are at the lower end of Ofsted enforcement activity but can be precursors to more severe enforcement action. They are issued when Ofsted believes that a registered person is failing or has failed to comply with a legal requirement imposed on them (e.g. failure to comply with the relevant regulations).

Ofsted will provide a date by which it expects a provider to comply with the notice and failure to do so can result in a provider being prosecuted. Failure to comply with a Compliance Notice is a specific ground upon which Ofsted can cancel a provider’s registration.

Ofsted state that there is no right to appeal a Compliance Notice but Ridouts has been successful in having Compliance Notices withdrawn.

Testimonials

They are saviours! They rescued my business – they are worth every penny!

You feel that you get both legal advice and consultancy, borne out of many years of dealing with regulators.

Caroline came back to me immediately with a high quality, considered response.

I was immediately impressed with Jenny’s knowledge in legal matters and how care homes work at a business level

I went to their symposium – it was a big investment of time – but it was wonderful – I learnt a lot and like the way they spoke – easy to understand, clear, friendly – I would definitely use them if I needed to – and would absolutely recommend them

I know for a fact that the CQC fear Ridouts – they know you are taking it seriously if you work with Ridouts.

I got through to Paul immediately and he told me what to do there and then; I didn’t realise how limited the Local Authority’s powers were.

After months and months of delays with our CQC Registrations I brought in Paul and Laura. Their combined calm, reassuring and very professional approach gave me sustenance and hope and within less than two weeks of working on our behalf, our Registrations were confirmed.

A superlative job – Thank You seems insufficient.
