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.
Duty of candour
Our changes set out a process for registrants to follow when things go wrong which better aligns with our guidance.
Reviewing the standards of conduct, performance and ethics
We regularly review the SCPEs to make sure they are relevant to current practice, that they incorporate EDI commitments and that they can be clearly understood by those who use them.
The public
As a regulator set up to protect the public, involving the public as key stakeholders is essential to our work and we are committed to this involvement in a number of our core organisational activities
MyEDI: Understanding equality, diversity and inclusion has never been so important
The HCPC has launched our annual Diversity Data Survey and we need as many registrants as possible to respond, so we can gain a better understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion across the professions we regulate.
