BCTC Council members attended 3 workshops held in August, September and October to participate in discussions hosted by the CHRE about a new accreditation scheme for Voluntary Registers in the UK.
The CHRE has been commissioned by the government to establish a Professional Standards Authority for health and social care professionals.
The purpose of the workshops was to conduct an extensive consultation process with existing voluntary register holders (open to all) to develop a quality assurance scheme for all voluntary registers in the UK. The CHRE recognizes the considerable time and effort already invested by organizations in developing professional standards and therefore has no interest in ‘re-inventing the wheel’.
