We’ve now begun our engagement as part of our work to modernise the Code and revalidation.
A modernised Code will set clearer standards in areas where practice has changed over the past decade. This is likely to include areas such as equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), artificial intelligence, behaviour outside of professional practice and use of social media.
We will review our revalidation requirements to ensure they continue to support professionals to develop their practice in line with our Code and standards. Our review will draw on our learning from nine years of the current revalidation model, from independent inquiries and from stakeholder feedback.
The Code consultation will now launch by the end of November. This will give us more time to reflect the feedback we are receiving and make sure the consultation is as robust and useful as possible.
The revalidation consultation will be separated from the Code consultation and delayed by at least six months. This will allow us to consider stakeholder feedback and any relevant recommendations from independent inquiries before we consult.
