Regulation - what's going on?
i) For those involved in Healthcare or Social Care:-
Your Regulators include, according to your profession:-
and generally Social Care Councils. Pervading all of which is the Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence (CHRE).
Click here for an explanation of the investigation procedures as applied to Medical Doctors. The explanation describes a procedure specific to the GMC who are the Professional Body for Doctors, i.e. the Regulator It can usefully be read as background information to give you some idea of similar procedures that are applied by the other Regulators. The GMC is possibly the most established Regulatory Body of all the professions in terms of the length of time it has practiced as a Regulator. It is from experience of the pitfalls and practices of the GMC over many years that many of the principles now of general application have been tested.
ii) For those who are not involved in the Medical Industry:-
Your Professional Body will have adopted or will be considering adopting codes of conduct and a Regulatory Function. If you, as a Professional, are the victim of unwarranted allegations you may be called to account according to the constitution of the profession concerned. Whether this is a matter of Professional misconduct or not we can act for you.
There are approximately one hundred Associations, Academies, Societies, Institutes, Councils and Colleges covering all sorts of diverse occupations, including Architects, Art Historians, Tax Technicians, Engineers, Managers and Directors, Landscapers, Town Planners, Surveyors and Secretaries.
The general principles referred to on this site are very broadly similar to that which is likely to apply to you.
iii) A reminder for all:-
What is being discussed on this site is not litigation arising from a claim against you, as a Professional for, e.g. negligence. It is representation advice and assistance, in relation to complaints or allegations made against you by, or involving, your Regulator which may or may not arise out of alleged or proved negligence but which in any event does involve your Fitness to Practice in the future as judged by your Regulator. Charges brought against you may arise from allegations of dishonesty, misconduct, poor performance, physical or mental health or factors involving the protection of the reputation of the profession or the protection of the public

Excellent experience start to finish – always very responsive to any queries and the turnaround on the property I was buying was very quick, even in the busy time leading up to stamp duty deadline. Jenny was always very helpful and went above and beyond to close on a short timescale.
“Very approachable, practical solutions to problems, but most of all very responsive which I personally think is very important because if you need help, you need it quickly, or at least to know someone is looking at it for you”.
“Always able to contact, very approachable, friendly and professional”
“I believe I have been able to establish a professional working relationship with everyone I have come into contact. Importantly, I sense the relationships which have been established give me the confidence that I can make contact with Davis Blank Furniss at any time and on any matter. I would also like to express my thanks to the very impressive “gatekeepers” who work in reception, not only for making me very welcome, but also for their professionalism”
“Thank you for your efficient and friendly help throughout this process. We have had it easy but your approach has been part of that”.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for the ongoing support and assistance the firm has offered to our parents over the years. I hope also that we may be able to call on you if necessary in the future.”
“Jo always provides great service, understands our needs and delivers on her promises. Our needs are relatively simple but the complexity arises out of the volume of work and short time frames, Jo always delivers.”
“A big thank you to all who dealt with my wife’s claim… We would not hesitate to recommend Davis Blank Furniss to anyone that may be in a situation like we have been…”
“Before putting my case in Kirsty (Morbey)’s capable hands I’ve met a couple of other solicitors. None of them listen to me as intently as Kirsty and showed me as much empathy and understanding as she did. Simultaneously she was able to look at my case from legal perspective, explain all the options and follow each of our meetings with written summary of the discussed matters (in timely manner). Her advice was invaluable and led me to successfully ending the case matter (hopeful for good). I’m forever grateful for he work and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable and committed solicitor”.
