We're carrying out essential maintenance on the HCPC and HCPTS websites, which may cause brief, intermittent issues where some users may get a security certificate warning. If this appears, you can still continue to use the site safely. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
In 2013, we carried out the first year of our scheduled approval visits to programmes for social workers in England following the opening of the Register to this group on 1 August 2012. A new standard of education and training about service user and carer involvement in education and training programmes was also introduced.
