What it means to make a professional declaration

By making a professional declaration you are confirming that you have:

• continued to practise your profession since your last registration; or
• not practised your profession since your last registration but have met the HCPC’s returning to practice requirements.

You are also confirming that you:

• have continued to meet the HCPC’s standards of proficiency for the safe and effective practice of your profession;
• have not had any change relating to your good character;
• have not had any change relating to your health which may affect your ability to practice safely and effectively;
• have continued to meet the HCPC’s standards for continuing professional development; and
• have professional indemnity arrangements in place providing appropriate cover, or if you are not currently practising, you will have one in place when you return to practice.

If you cannot complete any part of the declaration you should contact the Registrations department, explaining your circumstances.
