Registration renewal for arts therapists starts Thursday 1 March 2018
The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registration renewal period for arts therapists opens on Thursday 1 March 2018 and closes on Thursday 31 May 2018. The HCPC will write to all arts therapists at the beginning of March with information on how to renew.
To renew, registrants must complete a professional declaration and pay a renewal fee no later than midnight on Thursday 31 May 2018 to avoid being removed from the Register. The easiest and quickest way to renew is online via www.hcpc-uk.org/renew
A random sample of 2.5 per cent of the profession will also be selected to submit a continuing professional development (CPD) profile during this period. Those selected for audit will receive a separate letter after the renewal notices are sent out. More information, including sample profiles, activity types and video guidance, is available at www.hcpc-uk.org/cpd
The fee is tax deductible, which means that registrants paying the standard 20 per cent tax rate can reclaim a 20 per cent refund from HMRC.
“Our online system provides a quick and easy way to renew, and we want to encourage registrants to use this resource. We would advise all speech and language therapists who wish to remain on the Register to renew as early as possible to ensure that you can continue to practice without disruption.”

Notes to editors
The Health and Care Professions Council is an independent regulator set up by the Health and Social Work Professions Order 2001. The HCPC keeps a register for 16 different health and care professions and only registers people who meet the standards it sets for their training, professional skills, behaviour and health. The HCPC will take action against professionals who do not meet these standards or who use a protected title illegally.
The HCPC currently regulates the following 16 professions. Each of these professions has one or more ‘protected titles’. Anyone who uses one of these titles must register with the HCPC. The full list of protected titles can be found below.
The HCPC regulates social workers in England. Social workers in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are separately regulated by the relevant Care Council in that country.
