Currently the total number of Health Care Professionals (HCPs) conducting assessments is 3518.<\/p>
<\/p>
All HCPs conducting assessments are highly trained practitioners who must have at least 2 years post full registration experience or less than 2 years by individual, prior, written agreement with the Department. Requests by providers to employ HCPs with less than 2 years post full registration experience are rare and exceptional. To ensure HCPs deliver high quality assessments they are subject to a rigorous recruitment and approval process, followed by a comprehensive training programme in disability analysis. They also receive coaching and complete Continuous Professional Development modules to ensure their knowledge is kept up to date. All HCPs are subject to the Provider\u2019s audit process and, in addition to this, DWP undertakes independent audit to ensure that the advice provided to the Department\u2019s decision makers is of suitable quality, fully explained and justified.<\/p>
