Equality, diversity and inclusion
We have significantly expanded the role of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), placing specific importance on making sure that practice is inclusive for all service users. This is one theme within the key changes to the updated standards of proficiency for all professions.
Inappropriate relationship with patient
Case study: A psychologist’s employer raised concerns that the registrant had taken a service user on a trip involving an overnight stay in a shared hotel room, bought the service user alcohol and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol in the presence of the service user.
Why employers should respond to the consultation on proposed changes to HCPC’s English language requirements
HCPC Policy Manager Tom Miller explains the proposals we are making and why it is especially important to hear from employers and managers of HCPC registrants, who have experience of how the current arrangements are working.
Consent and confidentiality
It is important that you get the service user’s permission, or ‘consent’, before you share or disclose their information or use it for reasons which are not related to the care or services you provide for them
