## Usage notes

- Choose which list to check: warnings, licensed providers, the limited provider screen or regulator cases.
- No match does not prove there is no record. Open the linked entry and check the official public register by name or number.
- An open investigation is not proof of a breach. Results support screening and professional review; they are not legal conclusions.
- The provider screen is limited and is not a complete registration search.
