PSA approves GOC for second year running

For the second consecutive year, the GOC met all 18 of the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA) standards of good regulation in its 2022-23 performance review.

The report found that the GOC had sustained improvements in the time it took to progress cases through its fitness to practise system, as well as recognising further work it would undertake to build on improvements made.

Strong progress was made by the GOC against its equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) action plan 2022-24, including the use of its data and other evidence to make further positive impacts.

These included publishing a joint statement with stakeholders on zero tolerance to bullying, harassment, abuse and discrimination following the findings of its registrant survey.
