Standards
We have a dual role as a regulator to protect the health and safety of the public while upholding the standing of the chiropractic profession.
We have a dual role as a regulator to protect the health and safety of the public while upholding the standing of the chiropractic profession. We do this by publishing a clear code of practice - the Code, relevant professional guidance and comprehensive education standards.
By promoting and maintaining these standards we play a critical part in ensuring public confidence in chiropractic and maintaining high standards of practice in the profession.
We work collaboratively with our registered chiropractors, professional associations and other stakeholders to ensure our standards remain fit for purpose and in line with our right-touch approach to regulation.
