PAID $0.02 DEFAULT ENTRY TOOL for a NEW or proposed England health/social-care service when the unresolved question is whether CQC provider registration may be required or which REGULATED ACTIVITIES are in scope. Use this before location, provider-structure, document or readiness checks when registration scope itself is unknown. Do NOT use for an already-registered provider deciding whether an incident/event must be notified; use cqc_statutory_notification_preflight. Do NOT use for nominated-individual/REGISTERED-MANAGER role requirements; use cqc_provider_structure_preflight.

PAID $0.04 RECURRING POST-REGISTRATION NOTIFICATION tool. Select when an ALREADY-OPERATING/REGISTERED provider needs to decide whether an event must be notified to CQC, which route/channel applies, what timing applies, or which facts are still missing. Use for deaths, serious injury, abuse or safeguarding allegations, police involvement, events stopping a service running safely/properly, DoLS outcomes/withdrawal, qualifying Mental Health Act deaths or unauthorised absence/return, registered-person absence of 28 days or more, and statement-of-purpose revisions. Do NOT use for deciding whether a new provider needs CQC registration, and do NOT use for changing the provider's registration itself; use cqc_registration_scope_preflight or cqc_registration_change_preflight respectively. This is the preferred recurring compliance decision entry point when the provider is already operating.
