Who can apply for Headway Approved Provider status?

Currently the accreditation scheme can be applied for by care homes, transitional living units and respite facilities that provide care for brain injury survivors that are registered with the Care Quality Commission in England.

The scheme will soon be available in the rest of the United Kingdom.

Headway recognises the need for domicillary care providers to have access to accreditation systems, however this is not currently within the scope of the Headway Approved Provider scheme.

See section on "What constitutes a unit" for further information on how we look at internal variations within organisations with regards to how a facility will be assessed.

All applications and registration with the scheme are subject to the Headway Approved Provider Project Terms and Conditions- copy of which are available on request. Registration as an Approved Provider with Headway is for a two year period.

Please contact the Headway Approved Provider scheme if you require further clarification.
