CQC registration and clinical governance
Lighthouse Pathways is CQC-registered and NICE-aligned, held to UK standards for
Lighthouse Pathways is a CQC-registered service. The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health and social care services in England. CQC registration means we are held to standards covering safety, effectiveness, care, responsiveness, and how the service is led.
Our assessments are NICE-aligned. NICE (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) sets the recognised UK guidance for ADHD diagnosis, and NG87 is the relevant standard. Aligning to NICE means our clinical practice follows the same framework as NHS services.
Our Safeguarding Lead oversees safeguarding for both adults and children in our care, ensuring every patient is treated with respect and protected throughout the service.
