Can a performance assessment lead to restrictions on my practice?
Yes. Depending on the outcome, a regulator may impose conditions on your registration, require further training or supervision, or in more serious cases, consider further regulatory action if significant concerns are identified.
Do I need legal representation during a performance assessment?
There’s no requirement to have legal representation, but early advice can help you understand the process, prepare appropriately, and ensure any report produced fairly reflects your practice and circumstances.
What happens after a performance assessment is completed?
The regulator will consider the assessment findings alongside any submissions made on your behalf, and this will inform its decision on whether your fitness to practise is impaired and what, if any, further action is required.
