Fair Registration Practices

The College takes its role in entry to practice very seriously and has adopted the principles of fairness, transparency, objectivity and impartiality to guide its work.

The College has obligations to maintain fair registration practices under the Regulated Health Professions Act. These obligations to the Office of the Fairness Commissioner (OFC) include submission of an annual Fair Registration Practices report, to undergo fair practices audits as required by the OFC and to complete registration reviews (either voluntarily or as directed by the OFC).

The following documents are available for review:

In November 2007, the College completed a year-long self-audit process based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standard 17024 General Requirements for Bodies Operating Certification Schemes for Persons. While pleased with the results of the self-audit, the College continues to strive for excellence and a number of recommendations for continuous quality improvement arose from this work.
