Frequently asked questions

What happens if we fail an inspection?

HeroDocs gives you the audit trail inspectors ask for: every policy version, every staff sign-off, every regulatory change you acted on, all timestamped. You walk in with evidence instead of explanations.

What kind of care providers do you support?

HeroDocs supports care homes, domiciliary care, supported living and adult healthcare providers. Our policy templates and CQC guidance alerts are built for each of these services.

Is our data safe?

Yes. HeroDocs is ICO-registered, GDPR-compliant and SSL-secured. We protect your account with two-factor authentication, keep full session logs, and let you export your data at any time.

Can I import our existing policies?

Yes. Upload your current Word or PDF policies and HeroDocs will bring them in, keeping your wording but adding version tracking, staff sign-off, and an audit trail on top.

Do you offer a free trial?

Yes. 14 days of full access to every feature. Cancel anytime before the trial ends and you won't be charged. If HeroDocs isn't right for your service, just cancel, no questions asked.

I haven't hired staff yet. What would I pay?

£54 a month for the smallest plan: £50 for your admin seat and £4 for one staff seat. Add staff at £4 a month each as you hire, and save 20% if you pay annually. Everything is included: 150+ templates, AI drafting, regulatory alerts, staff acknowledgements, and a full audit trail. No setup fees, cancel anytime.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your billing settings in one click. If you cancel mid-cycle, you keep access until the end of the paid period. No exit fees, no lock-in.

Do you support new providers applying for CQC registration?

Yes. HeroDocs includes the policies CQC expects to see for domiciliary care and supported living registrations. Start from our templates, tailor them to your service, and walk into your registration interview knowing your policies inside out.
