Making an appeal

If we decide that your CPD profile does not meet our standards, or you have not taken part in or completed the audit process, and we decide to remove you from the Register, you can appeal against this decision.

You will be able to tell us why you think this decision is wrong.

We will let you know exactly what you need to do and by when. If you make an appeal, you will stay on the Register until a decision has been made. Your appeal will be considered by an appeal panel. You can choose to go to an appeal hearing or ask for your appeal to be considered on the documents that you send to the panel.

The appeal panel can decide to:

  • agree with you and allow you to stay registered;
  • dismiss the appeal, so our original decision to take you off the Register stands; or
  • ask us to assess your CPD profile again.

If you do not agree with the panel’s decision, you can appeal to the County Court in England, Wales or Northern Ireland or to a local Sheriff Court in Scotland.
