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.

The purpose of the safeguarding policy is to outline our safeguarding responsibilities, so that our staff and partners are aware of their safeguarding obligations, and to ensure that any safeguarding concerns are dealt with and escalated appropriately.

We're delighted to announce that Christine Elliott has been reappointed as HCPC Chair for her second four-year term starting 28 February 2023.

We’re currently reviewing the standards of education and training to make sure they're up-to-date. We invite all patients, service users, patient groups and representatives to an online workshop to share their thoughts, needs and experiences.
