The College will investigate any reports received from the public to confirm if the person is not a member of the College. If the person is not a member of the College, the College will determine the best approach in order to ensure that the person ceases any unauthorized practice. This could include sending a warning letter to the person and/or commencing legal proceedings against the person. Each situation will be assessed individually by the College and its solicitors.
To report an Unauthorized practitioner, please complete the Unauthorized Practitioner Form. You may complete the form and provide your contact details, or you may submit the form anonomously. The College can only investigate when it has received sufficient information to do so. Please provide as much detail as you are able to, and please include any advertising material if available.
If you provide contact information, the College will advise you if the person is or is not a member of the College. However, due to privacy concerns, it may not always be able to share with you its plan in how it intends to address the illegal practising. If the College obtains an order against the individual, it will make reasonable efforts to advise you.
