The Profession has published a consultation paper on recommended changes to the current practising certificate regime.

The recommendations are being made by the practising certificate regime working party established by the Professional Regulation Executive Committee (PREC) to carry out a review of the current regime of practising certificates for reserved roles.

The consultation period runs until 31 December 2010 and, thereafter, the responses submitted will be used to inform PREC's decision on implementation of the working party's recommendations.
