Supporting leaders with regulation and registration
Care Governance Limited provides comprehensive support to help you set up your own home care (domiciliary) care company. We handle the CQC/CI registration process, write your business plan and statement of purpose, complete financial forecasting, register your company, and more. Director Mr. Mark Harrop has over 25 years experience in Health and Social Care and is well placed to support you in reaching your goals with setting up your own home care service.
With over 25 years of experience in the social care sector, I understand what makes an ‘inadequate’ service ‘good’ and a ‘good’ service ‘outstanding’. My mock inspection packages offer thorough assessments across various settings, including domiciliary care, residential care homes, and nursing homes, identifying compliance gaps and the systems that keep providers ahead on CQC regulation.

I support social care providers during periods of absence and transition, stepping into interim leadership roles to ensure immediate stability and continuity of care.
With a proven track record of improving team cultures and inspection outcomes, I help services navigate uncertainty by maintaining visible leadership and supporting teams while ensuring that regulatory responsibilities continue to be met.
Drawing on frontline and senior leadership experience, I review compliance and prioritise actions to ensure improvement begins in line with CQC/CI expectations. Maintaining well-led, inspection-ready services during turbulent periods. I’m always open to an initial conversation about how I can support your service through periods of change or transition.
Mark worked with Willowbrook Homecare for a period of around 3 months, initially providing interim management support at one of our Homecare branches due to the unexpected absence of the Manager. From day one, Mark provided valuable support to the staff team during a time of uncertainty, Mark reviewed branch compliance, developed action plans and started to progress actions to address issues identified.
Once a manager was appointed, Mark supported with the implementation of our new digital system across Willowbrook whilst assessing information held against compliance requirements and reporting findings.
Mark's exemplary interpersonal skills and professionalism provided invaluable support to the Company through a time of unexpected uncertainty and change.
Mark came in to our care home at very short notice when we had an unexpected long term absence within our management team and was with us for around 8 weeks in the capacity of interim manager. He did an excellent job in helping to coalesce the workforce over what was an extremely busy and short staffed period. During his time with us he built excellent relationships with staff, residents and relatives, as well as making useful and positive improvements to our documentation processes. We had a care inspection during his time with us and our grades went up on the back of that inspection. We would be happy to have him back with us if the need ever arose.
I would also like to pass on some positive comments about Mark. I would like to say he was extremely professional, courteous and extremely helpful in giving key insights to which I am happy with having him conduct the mock inspection

I began my career in health and social care in 1999 as a carer and worked my way up the Health and Social Care pathway. Since 2007, I’ve served as a Registered Manager or Area Manager. In July 2021, I launched my own consultancy firm to support other Care Providers and Registered Managers. I take great pride in helping those struggling to meet regulatory requirements, manage daily operations, and develop their businesses, including boosting growth and occupancy. I also enjoy creating detailed person-centred care plans to ensure residents’ preferences and needs are fully met and clearly recorded.
