UKAHPP Condition Status

In September 2023, we completed our full renewal assessment of the UKAHPP’s register. When we renewed the UKAHPP’s accreditation, we issued a number of Conditions with deadlines for implementation.

• Condition Review report

The Accreditation Panel found that while UKAHPP had met some conditions, some remained outstanding. As such, the below conditions have been issued:

1. The UKAHPP must make clear that screening clients based on protected characteristics is unacceptable and may result in disciplinary action should it become aware of registrants doing so.
2. The UKAHPP must introduce a proportionate system of checks to assure that registrants’ website and advertising meets its standards.
3. The UKAHPP must change its complaints process to make clear that it assumes responsibility for investigating and prosecuting complaints, with the complainant as witness rather than prosecutor in cases that reach the threshold for formal hearings.
4. The UKAHPP must implement tools and processes to assist its identification and mitigation of new risks that could affect its ability to operate the register.
5. The UKAHPP must implement tools and processes to assist its identification and mitigation of new risks to the public occurring within registrants’ practice. 

UKAHPP Targeted Review Status

At the current time we have not identified the need for a Targeted Review.
