For Care Services & Organisations

Work with independently verified Personal Assistants and carers

QCAS helps care introduction agencies and organisations strengthen safeguarding by working with carers whose key information has been independently verified — supporting safer, more transparent care introductions.

Why verification matters for independent carers

Many Personal Assistants (PAs) and independent carers operate outside of traditional regulated frameworks.

This creates flexibility — but also places greater responsibility on organisations and providers to carry out appropriate checks and due diligence.

QCAS supports this process by independently verifying key information, helping reduce risk and improve transparency.

How QCAS supports organisations

  • Independent verification of key carer information
  • Reduce administrative burden of repeated checks
  • Support safer recruitment and onboarding
  • Ongoing visibility of approval status
  • Encourages consistent standards across your network

Who this is for

  • Introduction agencies
  • Care providers working with independent carers
  • Organisations supporting direct payments
  • Local authorities and councils
Independent support

Support with concerns and complaints

When issues arise between a service user and a Personal Assistant, situations can quickly become complex — particularly for introduction services that are not permitted to manage or employ carers directly.

QCAS provides an independent route for concerns to be raised and addressed, helping protect service users while allowing you to remain within your role.

Become endorsed

QCAS Endorsed Provider Scheme

Organisations can become QCAS endorsed providers, demonstrating their commitment to working with verified carers and supporting higher standards across independent care.

Many introduction services state that checks are carried out, but these can vary significantly in depth and consistency.

QCAS provides independent verification of key information, helping demonstrate that checks have been completed and improving confidence among clients, families and partners.

How QCAS fits into the care journey

QCAS does not provide a directory or matching service.

Instead, individuals typically find carers through introduction agencies and providers.

QCAS supports this process by verifying carers, while endorsed providers commit to working with QCAS approved individuals.
