HCPC statement of approach to fitness to practise investigations and hearings during the COVID-19 pandemic

We are committed to providing quality services to our stakeholders, learning from feedback and driving continuous improvement.

As a registered professional, it is your responsibility to maintain appropriate professional boundaries with service users, carers and colleagues.

The requirement to be open and honest, otherwise known as the duty of candour, is part of the standards of conduct, performance and ethics.

This annual report provides an account of our work investigating fitness to practise (FTP) concerns raised with us across the 15 professions we regulate.

In most cases, you will need to make sure you have consent from the service user before you disclose or share any identifiable information
