Statement from John Barwick, Chief Executive and Registrar, HCPC

As an HCPC-registered practitioner, one of your responsibilities is to be alert to public safety risks, breaches of legislation and wrongdoing

As part of our Fitness to Practise (FTP) Improvement Programme to consistently enhance the communication, engagement and support we provide to people who are part of our FTP processes, we’re happy to announce that we’ve partnered with the cross regulatory independent lay advocacy service POhWER.

We want to continually improve our support for education providers in meeting our regulatory requirements, and delivering the best programmes they can. A key part of our work is making sure we understand the experience of those going through education programmes.

We emailed education providers due their performance review in 2022-23 and 2023-24 in early August. Providers who will undergo the process this year (2022-23) will have been given specific requirements and a key contact to work with at the HCPC. 

We recently released updates to our standards of proficiency, which come into effect on 1 September 2023.
