Becoming professionally registered shows that you have the skills, knowledge, and dedication to deliver high-quality care. It proves your commitment to doing the right thing—both for those you care for and for your profession. It also means you're accountable to yourself, the public, and your colleagues, and that your work meets the ethical and professional standards expected in social care.

Your Registered Title

Once registered, you’ll be officially recognised as a Registered Care Professional (CPR)—a title that reflects your professionalism and commitment.
