Removal from the Register
Registrants can request voluntary removal from the Register if they are no longer required to be registered. Registrants who do not pay their annual fee will be removed from the Register unless there are any conduct issues outstanding.
Employers are obliged to inform the Care Council if they know of any reason why the registrant should not be removed. Therefore we notify the Registrant’s employer when we are minded to remove a name from the Register by sending them a form to confirm that the removal process can proceed. We will always send you confirmation of removal form as soon as a registrant becomes overdue, and we’d be grateful if you could complete and return it to us within 2 weeks. The registrant will be removed after 28 days regardless of whether we receive the form back from you, provided they do not have an ongoing conduct case.
Voluntary removal from the Register
Registrants removed from the Register for non-conduct issues
If removed for voluntary, debt or failure to renew reasons, in order to rejoin the Register an individual must apply again using the initial application process and pay an application fee, in addition to any outstanding fees owed to the Care Council. If the registrant was removed from the Register more than 2 years into a registration period and applies to return to the Register, a record of PRTL may be requested.
Registrants removed from the Register by a Committee
If a registrant is removed from the Register by a Conduct Committee or Health Committee, he/she can only apply to be restored to the Register three years after the date they were removed. Their application will be considered by a Restoration Committee.
A registrant cannot be removed from the Register if they have an ongoing conduct investigation attached to their registration.
Once removed from the Register an individual cannot practice in any role where registration is mandatory.
