Frequently asked questions
What happens in a fitness-to-practise case?
Your regulator investigates the concern, may impose interim restrictions, and can hold a hearing that decides whether your fitness to practise is impaired and what sanction applies.
Can I be struck off?
In serious cases a regulator can suspend you or remove you from the register. Early expert representation can make a real difference to the outcome.
Should I get advice before responding to my regulator?
Yes. What you say early on matters. We help you respond carefully and put your case in the best possible light from the outset.
