Fitness to Practise Rule 15 - review of decision not to refer a case to the FTP Committee
At its meeting in September 2011, Council considered the responses to the public consultation on our new Fitness to Practise Rules. Council approved all bar one of the proposals to reform the current fitness to practise rules.
Having considered the responses to the initial consultation, Council decided to amend draft Rule 15 of the amendments to the Fitness to Practise Rules.
This will mean that case examiners, not the Investigation Committee, will review a decision not to refer a case to the Fitness to Practise Committee. You can read more about how the Fitness to Practise process works here.
We would be grateful for any stakeholder feedback into this change. Please send your responses to Kisha Punchihewa (Head of Fitness to Practise) no later than 30 April 2012. Responses should be sent to:
Post: 41 Harley Street, London, W1G 8DJ.
