I am setting up a care agency in the UK. What licenses do I need?

Thanks

What kind of care agency ? For children, seniors, disabled ?

Kind of hard to say what licensing situations are in the UK; probably a lot different then Canada or the US if it is for seniors. I am in the healtchare sector in Ontario and all the best care agencies for seniors are run by well accredited organizations who do this on a Canada wide basis. There is really no opportunity for the 'little guy' to start a business such as this here. Liability insurance payments are out this world and healthcare workers hired have to either RN or PSW, certified positions.

So let us know just what type of care you mean. Are you a doctor, nurse or some type of healthcare individual who would know all the requirements ? Do you intend to be full service, i.e. homcare, shopping for your clients who are shut ins, etc.
