New Webinar: CQC Registration Changes 2026
Free Webinar: CQC Registration Changes 2026 - What Providers Must Know About Scope, Risk & Compliance
A recent change to the CQC’s scope of registration has quietly shifted the regulatory landscape and many providers may not yet realise the impact.
Under updated guidance, services offering diagnosis only (including ADHD and autism spectrum disorder) may no longer require CQC registration.
While this may appear to be a technical clarification, it raises important questions around regulatory scope, governance, safeguarding and accountability.
So the key question for providers is:
Does your service still fall within CQC scope?
Join Fulcrum Care for a focused webinar exploring what this change means in practice and how providers can ensure their services remain compliant, credible and protected.
What we’ll cover
What has actually changed in the CQC scope of registration
Which services may now fall outside regulation and why
Key implications for ADHD and autism diagnostic services
The potential risks around governance, safeguarding and oversight
Practical steps to ensure your service remains compliant and credible
