SAHA Regulatory Status, Clinical Governance & AI Safety
Saha Care holds several different relationships with UK regulators, certifiers, standards bodies, and networks — a statutory registration, a third-party certification, a self-assessed standards-met toolkit, a network membership, and a funding-body relationship. These are not the same thing, and we do not present them as one uniform "certified and regulated" status. This page sets out each relationship individually, with links so you can verify them directly, and states plainly where a claim is still pending clinical governance sign-off rather than guessing.
