Statistics relating to the protected characteristics of Social Workers who have been struck off the register.
Dear Health and Care Professions Council,
When Social Workers are registered with the HCPC do you make a record of their protected characteristics including race, gender, disability, religion or belief and sexual orientation?
If so please can this information be provided to me in relation to the Social Workers who have been struck off the register since the HCPC has been the registration body for the profession.
Yours faithfully,
Sarah Higgins
