Annual registrant sample audit

We undertake this process in nine batches. Those selected will be notified via email at specific points in the year. Auditees have approximately four weeks to meet the deadline for submission.

An update on COVID-19 and your audit submission

We recognise the current impact of COVID-19, and the difficulties it might cause in collating your audit evidence. Your submission may be delayed due to you or others being unwell, or other circumstances. Some suggestions to manage this could include:

• Arrange to meet with your supervisor for a brief discussion
• Arrange for them to see your qualification(s) (normally digitally)
• Please ask them to email you with confirmation that (a) you have spoken and (b) that they have seen the same digital copies of qualifications that you will be sending to UKCP and that it is a true copy of the original
• Send your supervisor's confirmation email to us as part of your audit submission

This is only a suggestion. It’s up to you to provide the required evidence for your audit submission.

We continue to be flexible in our approach to supporting members, so please do contact us to discuss circumstances which might delay your audit submission.
