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.
It describes the Fitness to Practise (FTP) concerns received, and the HCPC registrants who were subject to those concerns in the financial year 2023-2024.
The report’s findings include:
- Less than one percent of HCPC registrants have any type of FTP concern raised about them in any one year.
- 1 in 12 of the concerns raised in 2023-2024 included sexual misconduct and criminal matter or conduct of a sexual nature.
- A small number of the professions had a disproportionate share of those concerns.
- There was a stark difference between the higher incidence in male registrants and lower incidence in female registrants.
