You MUST upload evidence of your Disclosure, Safeguarding and Current Insurance to your account if you want to appear as searchable as available for work and/or offering supervision. You MUST upload your supporting evidence at the end of this registration form.

    ?Evidence is compulsory if you are available for work and/or offering supervision We understand there are difficulties for independent, self-employed practitioners obtaining an enhanced disclosure if they cannot access an employer to apply for one on their behalf. We are exploring alternative routes for our members with the authorities, as this is a clear anomaly in the system. But in the meantime, please submit a basic disclosure.
