How we developed this resource

Last Updated 12/12/2024

We've collaborated with employers, professionals, our regulatory partners and representatives of people who use services across the UK to identify good practice that will help you promote a just and learning culture.

We also drew on our own experiences in fitness to practise cases to support you to decide when you should manage concerns and when we need to be involved. We believe in giving professionals the chance to address concerns, but we'll always take action when needed.

It's important to note that this resource is intended to be used alongside, and not to replace, existing national and local guidance and policies that you may need to follow when there are concerns about a professional’s practice. For example, this would include requirements under local polices and employment or data protection laws.
