Service user and carer involvement is an important area to the HCPC, to ensure learners are properly prepared for practice. We have identified good practice and challenges with education provider approaches to service user and carer involvement.

Our priority is ensuring that registrants have access to advice and support, so that they can get the help they need and ensure they are able to continue to practise safely, without fear of the impact on their registration. To support this, we have produced online materials aimed at registrants and updated our guidance on health and character to include more illustrative case studies.

We are required to keep case records for a period of time once the case has ended. 

Information about direct debit collection dates for quarterly and bi-annual payments, including payment amounts. 

If your application is complete, we'll assess your regulated education and training and any other relevant experience
