Decisions affecting registration are made by professionals

These are HCPC registrants, members of the public and legal professionals who contribute independent oversight and expertise to key regulatory decisions, for example:

• visitors, who help assess education programmes to decide whether they meet our standards and whose work helps the Education and Training Committee make decisions about approving programmes;
• registration assessors, who look at applications from professionals who have trained abroad to decide whether the application meets our standards;
• CPD assessors, who review the CPD profiles of our registrants against our CPD standards; and
• panel members, who deal with concerns raised about registrants.
