Outcome of conduct hearings

Following a finding of misconduct, a Conduct Sub-committee can decide to:

• place a warning on the registrant's entry in the Register for up to five years
• impose a condition on the registrant's registration
• suspend the registrant for a period not exceeding two years
• remove the registrant from a part or parts of the Register.

In deciding on what sanction is to be imposed, the Conduct Sub-committee will take into account the guidance contained within Part I of the document Indicative Sanctions and use of Interim Suspension Orders: Guidance for Sub-committees.

It is important to emphasise that sanctions are not imposed as punishment but are focused on maintaining high standards of practice and helping to ensure public protection in the future.

The Conduct Sub-committee will announce its decision in public and this will be available below. Within seven days of the hearing the Clerk will send the registrant, the SSSC, any relevant employer, where the registrant is a student, the university, and the complainant, the written notification of the decision, which will include the reasons for that decision.

Registrants have the right of appeal to the Sheriff Court against any decision to impose a sanction or alter their registration.
