Scope of registration
General exceptions and exemptions from registration
A number of general exceptions may apply to registration with CQC (read Schedule 2 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014). These include exceptions that:
- clarify which aspects of a service do not need to be registered separately
- apply to certain types of provider
- apply only in certain circumstances (see the guidance for each regulated activity).
Where a provider is exempt from the need to register for a specific regulated activity or if an exception under Schedule 2 applies, they should still check if they need to register for any other regulated activities.
