Deferring your CPD audit

We recognise that, due to unavoidable circumstances, some registrants may need to defer (put off) their audit.

For example, they may not be able to complete a CPD profile as a result of illness, family or personal circumstances or maternity leave. 'Deferral' offers those who cannot complete their CPD profiles due to circumstances beyond their control the opportunity to stay registered.

Registrants who would like to defer must write to us as soon as possible, giving their reasons for deferring and evidence to support it.

Anyone accepted for deferral is automatically included in the next round of CPD audits for their profession.

To request the deferral of your CPD audit you need to:

  • submit a deferral request setting out your reasons; and 
  • provide evidence of the reason why you cannot provide your CPD profile.

You will need to submit your request using your online account.
