There are two animations for people involved in social care. The first is for service users of social care, which explains what fitness to practise is and what they can do to raise a concern with a regulator. The second is for social care and social work registrants, similarly, explaining what fitness to practise is and why it is important for registrants to understand it along with how and why to raise a concern with a regulator.
