Safeguarding the profession and public
FtP case studies
In our latest Fitness to Practise (FtP) case study, we look at an example of where a registrant was reprimanded after failing to declare a conviction when applying for registration with the EWC. These case studies are based on real life examples and created to give registrants valuable learning points to uphold and comply with the Code, and protect their registration.
Interested in attending a hearing?
Most fitness to practise hearings are held in public meaning you can join as an observer. Information on upcoming hearings and how to attend is available on our fitness to practise pages.
