Social Workers: Don’t forget to renew your HCPC registration before November 30th!!

29th October 2018 by Ashberry Recruitment

Hands up if you’re guilty of promising to renew your Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registration early this year; but then find yourself rushing around to get sorted at the last minute?

Yep, you’re not alone, we promise you.

As you probably know, the HCPC registration renewal period for social workers opened on September 1st, 2018, and closes on Friday, 30th November 2018.

You should have received a letter from the HCPC with renewal instructions. If you\’ve misplaced it, here’s a quick recap:

• To renew, registrants must complete a professional declaration and pay a renewal fee no later than midnight on Friday, 30 November 2018, to avoid removal from the Register. The easiest way to renew is online at www.hcpc-uk.org/renew.
• A random sample of 2.5% of the profession will be selected to submit a continuing professional development (CPD) profile during this period. Those selected will receive a separate letter after renewal notices are sent out.
• More information, including sample profiles, activity types, and video guidance, is available at www.hcpc-uk.org/registrants/cpd.
• The renewal fee is tax deductible. Registrants paying the standard 20% tax rate can reclaim this amount from HMRC.
• The HCPC urges all social workers to renew early to avoid last-minute errors or issues.
• For queries about renewal or the CPD audit process, email registration@hcpc-uk.org.
• Resources and guidance about the renewal process are available at www.hcpc-uk.org/registrants/cpd/.
