As part of the registration process, ALL providers need to agree to abide by our Code of Conduct.
You may also need to provide details to show that you have the necessary professional qualifications and/or show that you are registered with the appropriate regulatory body for the services you provide (for example, the Care Quality Commission), if this is relevant.
If you are a provider organisation, you will need to complete your own checks to ensure staff and volunteers are appropriate to deliver services. Where staff or volunteers are in direct contact with vulnerable adults, you must carry out an assessment to identify if the role should be subject to a DBS check.

Accreditations and checks provide reassurance for potential customers.
Self-employed individuals providing services to vulnerable adults in their homes (eg handyperson services, mobile hairdressers) are encouraged to apply for a basic DBS check. (You can only request a ‘basic’ check for yourself. If you’re self-employed, an organisation you’re working with can get a standard, enhanced or enhanced with barred lists check for you, where the role is eligible).
We would encourage all organisations, or individuals, who are not registered with a regulatory body, or a member of a professional association, to register with the Trading Standards directory Buy with Confidence. Businesses are checked and vetted by Hampshire County Council Trading Standards.

Residents have told us that they prefer to have an idea of potential costs upfront to help them to make an informed decision about who to contact.
We appreciate that, for some providers, it may be difficult to provide exact costs as these may vary. However, the more information you can provide to residents (eg, daily or hourly rates, price ranges for specific services) the more likely they are to contact you.
