What Verivius does for you
Registered manager record via People + Documents
The registered manager's record sits in the People register alongside other staff. Supporting Schedule 3 evidence (qualifications, professional registrations, DBS checks, CPD records) can be attached via the Documents register. A dedicated registered-manager workflow with formal CQC notification tracking is a candidate for a future release.
