Generic systems don’t meet the demands of today’s care environment. The same goes for how we manage identity.
From hiring new staff to meeting regulatory inspections, the ability to quickly and securely prove who’s who in your organisation is non-negotiable. With CQC regulations requiring proof of identity, including a recent photo, it’s time care businesses had a smarter, simpler solution.
Instant ID Cards
With one click, Architecture now generates ready-to-print digital ID cards straight from your existing staff profiles. No chasing documents, no formatting headaches, just fast and compliant results.
Each card is:
- Photo-based and auto-filled with key staff information
- Branded with your logo and role-specific design
- Ready for onboarding, site entry, audits or visits.
Built for Regulation 19
Let’s talk compliance. According to the Health and Social Care Act (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, providers must:
- Verify identity before employment
- Maintain up-to-date photo documentation
- Keep clear records and procedures for ID use.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) doesn’t require a specific type of ID card, but best practice is clear: staff should wear them visibly, report lost cards and return them when leaving (CQC guidance).
Architecture supports all of this and automates it, so nothing gets missed.
Why this isn’t just a “Nice to have”
In care, every minute saved is a minute given back to clients, our instant digital ID cards help to ensure:
