Updated GOC CPD Exceptions Policy

17 May 2024

The GOC have today released the updated the CPD exceptions policy, which can be read here.

This policy sets out the principles the Registrar will apply in deciding whether a registrant can remain on the register without having met the CPD requirements, to ensure decisions are made in a fair and consistent manner. It also sets out the process for such registrants to request retention on the register.

LOCSU and LOCs can provide solutions to any challenges that people may come across, and therefore please keep an eye out for any upcoming training sessions.
