Yes: tell us the standard and the requirement, even if it is not in the directory. We confirm the appropriate scope, specialist competence and independence before agreeing an engagement.

No. FOW provides consultancy and preparation support. Independent certification, accreditation, CQC and buyer decisions remain separate.

Yes. The starting point is what already exists and the specific areas you need help with. A wholesale replacement is not assumed.

The delivery format depends on the evidence, service and scope. It is agreed in the proposal, including any travel arrangements.

Tell us the deadline and work involved. Availability and feasibility must be confirmed; an enquiry does not reserve capacity or create a turnaround guarantee.

Scope, complexity, sites, standards, evidence availability, required expertise, outputs and follow-up. We clarify these before proposing a fee.

Website development can be agreed as additional support. FOW does not provide digital-marketing, paid-ad or social-media management services.

Not through the initial enquiry form. Start with a short summary; a suitable transfer method can be agreed if sensitive evidence is needed.
