CQC Workforce Register — What Care Providers Should Maintain

Many care providers maintain a structured workforce register to organise recruitment checks, staff suitability records, DBS information, training records, and professional registration details in one place. CQC does not prescribe one specific format, but providers should be able to show clear and accessible workforce documentation that supports oversight.

What a workforce register often includes

A workforce register is often used as a practical central record to help managers monitor what is complete, missing, due for review, or overdue.

Staff name and role

Start date and employment status

Recruitment checks required for the role

DBS certificate details and Update Service status where relevant

Training records and renewal dates

Professional registration details where applicable

How EntryComply helps organise a workforce register

EntryComply provides care providers with a structured approach to workforce documentation, combining a compliance register, DBS monitoring, training tracking, and governance summaries in one organised system.

Structured Compliance Register

EntryComply helps providers maintain a structured compliance register recording staff suitability checks, recruitment documentation, and key employment details. The register is organised so providers can locate and present workforce records more easily when needed.

DBS Monitoring

Where agreed with the provider and supported by documented worker consent, EntryComply can help administer DBS Update Service monitoring records and record each check in a DBS monitoring log. Certificate details, check dates, and monitoring status can be recorded within the workforce register for each applicable staff member.

Training Tracking

Training records and expiry dates are tracked within the register. Training approaching expiry can be flagged so providers can identify gaps before they become urgent.

Governance Summaries

Providers can receive a structured monthly compliance pack summarising workforce documentation status, DBS monitoring activity, training expiry alerts, and outstanding actions. Monitoring activity can be recorded in a dated review record to support governance oversight.

This gives providers a clearer central record to review, maintain, and present when needed.

Important

EntryComply organises workforce documentation and governance records for care providers.
