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. 

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.

The Professional Liaison Service now operates with a Consultant in each of the four UK nations, who can design and deliver solutions that are specific to registrant and employer needs. 

As the updated standards of proficiency come into effect on 1 September 2023, you might be wondering what you need to do as a manager or employer of HCPC registrants. In this article we share ideas, tips and strategies to help you and your team prepare to embed the updated standards into everyday practice.

We have seen diversification in learning, teaching and assessments, which are in part driven by the education sector's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have found many innovations in this area have been embedded into programmes on a permanent basis.

A professional liaison group (or ‘PLG’) provides advice to the Council or committees on strategic issues. Either the Council, or a committee can decide to set up a PLG, to look at a specific issue and report back.

This consultation sought to enable people living with aphasia and their carers to be meaningfully involved in evaluating the standards of conduct, performance and ethics set by HCPC and to provide feedback, based on their own experiences, which may inform changes to the standards.

Statement from John Barwick, Chief Executive and Registrar, HCPC

We have opened a temporary register for final year students who have completed their placement learning

It’s always exciting when new technologies arrive that can save us time and have the potential to help us to achieve new things. But it’s important we are mindful of the risks when adopting any new technology.

With various initiatives across the four UK nations, we have seen (and expect to see further) increases in the total number of learners within professions, nations, and regions. We have noted an impact on practice-based learning, education provider resources, and innovations in delivery models due to these initiatives.

The profile of education and training is changing, with a wider variety of pre-registration education and training programmes approved by HCPC. This includes a broader range of qualification levels, and a significant increase in the number of apprenticeship programmes in England.
