Regulation 20A: Requirement as to display of performance assessments

Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 (SI 2014/2936)

Last verified by Verivius on 19 May 2026. Next review due 17 Aug 2026.

Plain British summary

If CQC has assessed and rated your performance, you have to display the rating: on every website you maintain, on a sign at each premises where you provide regulated activities, and on a sign at your principal place of business. Each sign or website entry must be legible, conspicuously placed, accessible to service users, and show the date the rating was given. The duty does not apply at your own home or at premises that are a service user's accommodation when it is not provided as part of their care.

What Verivius does for you

Rating records via Documents at tenant level

Not currently surfaced as a dedicated workflow. The latest CQC rating, any per-premises ratings, and the dates they were given can be attached at tenant level via the Documents register. A dedicated workflow surfacing the current rating in the platform branding and on tenant-controlled public surfaces is a candidate for a future release.
