Reference chasing now runs day-3, day-7 and day-14 chases automatically

Compliance that runs itself, while you run the agency.

CareComply is the operations platform UK domiciliary care agencies use to onboard carers, track documents, chase references, and stay CQC-ready — without spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads or guesswork.

What we replace

The spreadsheet stops scaling at 20 carers. CareComply doesn't.

Most UK agencies grow into a tangle of trackers, emails, and shared drives. We replace that with one operational source of truth — built for how compliance work actually happens.

Today, without CareComply
  • Carer files scattered across Drive, WhatsApp and a filing cabinet
  • Expired DBS or RTW found during a CQC visit, not before
  • Manually chasing references for two weeks per carer
  • No clear answer to "is Marcus compliant?" — only opinions
  • Inspection prep takes a fortnight of evening work
With CareComply
  • One workspace per agency, multi-branch ready, granular permissions
  • Reminders fire at −30, −7 and 0 days. Pro adds custom rules + escalation
  • Token-protected referee links + automatic chases at day 3, 7 and 14
  • A live compliance status per carer, recalculated on every change
  • Tamper-evident CQC export by key question — Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, Well-led
The operations layer

Built around the work compliance teams actually do.

Six surfaces that connect: onboarding pushes into documents, documents trigger reminders, reminders feed reviews, reviews log audit evidence.

Reference chasing

Stop chasing referees. We deliver the link, the reminders and the responses.

Referees get a token-protected form. CareComply chases at day 3, 7 and 14 automatically, then notifies the manager the moment a reference lands.

Used by registered managers, not just IT.

The teams who have to answer to the CQC are the ones who chose CareComply.

We stopped budgeting two weeks of evening admin before every CQC visit. The export is the inspector's preferred format now.

Our reference response rate went from 38% to 91% inside a month. We did not have to talk to a single referee.

Yes. Every action is tagged by CQC key question (Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, Well-led) and category (governance, staffing, documents, onboarding, billing). Exports are tamper-evident and can be verified months or years later.
