Approve a Reg 44 visitor
Invite your independent visitor to the workspace, or approve their request, and what you are agreeing to when you do.
A visitor who uses the Reg 44 workspace writes their report in the workspace and sends it from there. Nobody sees anything of your home until you approve them.
Open Reg 44 in the sidebar under Compliance, then Visitors.
Two ways in
- You invite them. Select Invite a visitor and give their email address. They get a link-only email, sign in with an email code, and accept.
- They ask. A visitor can find your home by its URN and ask for access. The request waits under Visitors until you approve or decline it.
Only the manager can do this. Staff, seniors and deputies do not see the page.
What you agree to
Approving a visitor means accepting the Reg 44 data sharing agreement for that visitor. The wording is not final: it is marked Awaiting solicitor until ours has been reviewed. The agreement is recorded with the date and your name, and shown on the appointment.
Approving does not share any records. The visitor sees nothing of the home beyond its name until you answer an information request.
Ending an appointment
Select End appointment when your visitor changes. They lose access to your home straight away, and any link they could use to open a record stops working. Reports already sent and locked stay exactly as they were.
Consultancies
If your visitor works through a consultancy, the appointment says so. The consultancy's reviewers read and approve the report before it is sent.
