The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is a regulator set up to protect the public. To do this, it keeps a register of health professionals who meet its standards for training, professional skills, behaviour and health. The HCPC currently regulates 15 health professions: arts therapists, biomedical scientists, chiropodists / podiatrists, clinical scientists, dietitians, hearing aid dispensers, occupational therapists, operating department practitioners, orthoptists, paramedics, physiotherapists, practitioner psychologists, prosthetists / orthotists, radiographers and speech and language therapists.

Every day, social workers support millions of people to improve their chances in life. Social Work England is a specialist body taking a new approach to regulating social workers in their vital roles. We believe in the power of collaboration and share a common goal with those we regulate – to protect the public, enable positive change and ultimately improve people’s lives.

We independently regulate care services for people of all ages in Scotland. We register, inspect and grade services, deal with complaints, carry out enforcement action where necessary and help services improve. We also inspect all Scottish local authority social work services, including criminal justice social work. We carry out joint inspections too, with colleagues from other organisations such as police, health boards and education, to check how successful services are at working together to deliver the best support for adults and children. We inspect the quality of care, promote best practice, identify ways that services can improve and support innovation. In everything we do, our aim is to improve people’s experience of care, focusing on what can improve their lives and not simply on the services provided to them.
