answer text <p>The Government has no plans to introduce legislative proposals to require unregulated professions who work therapeutically with children to be regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council.</p><p>The Government is clear that statutory professional regulation should only be used in cases where the risks to the public cannot be mitigated in other ways, such as through employer oversight or accredited voluntary registration.</p><p>Unregulated professions are encouraged to register with an appropriate professional body whose register has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. Accreditation provides assurance that practitioners on the register meet set standards and demonstrates that the organisation is committed to protecting the public.</p> more like this
