We regularly review our policies to ensure that they are fit for purpose.

We have developed an eLearning module which combines a refresher on EDI and includes aspects of unconscious bias and sexual harassment. In addition, all partners have to receive training on information security as they deal with information on behalf of the HCPC.

Adrian Barrowdale, Strategic Lead for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, writes about the recently-published list of disability networks and initiatives for the professions that the HCPC regulates.

As Sue Gallone comes to the end of my eight-year term as a HCPC Council member, she reflects on her experiences and the changes that have taken place at HCPC.

This report provides an assessment of concerns raised with us about the health and care professionals we regulate, which related to sexual misconduct and criminal matters or conduct of a sexual nature.

We are calling on employers, managers, education providers, professional bodies and unions to prevent these behaviours from happening, and to encourage greater reporting when they do. As a regulator of 15 different professions, the HCPC has a role to play too.

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

Council members play a key part in setting strategy and policy for the HCPC and ensuring that public protection is at the heart of everything that we do.

The deadline for operating department practitioners to complete their registration renewal is fast approaching

Today the revised HCPC standards of conduct, performance and ethics, and guidance on social media which sits alongside the standards, come into effect. It is now every registrant’s responsibility to be familiar with the changes and meet the revised standards.

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

The HCPC has responded to Lord Darzi’s report on the Independent Investigation of the National Health Service in England.
