My FRC
25.05.2021
At its meeting on 21 April 2021 the Farriers Registration Council approved a publication policy in respect of statutory functions delivered by the independently-operated Investigating and Disciplinary Committees. The policy delivers additional transparency to the Council’s handling of complaints, and clarity to the manner in which decisions are reached.
The FRC operates open disciplinary procedures, meaning that disciplinary hearings are open to the public and to the media, and the Council is expected to publish information about the outcomes of disciplinary hearings and how they may affect the registration of a registrant. Publication of the intention to hold hearings, and publication of the outcomes, enables the public to be reassured that the FRC is carrying out its statutory duties as Parliament intended.
A copy of the FRC’s ‘Publication Policy for Statutory Functions delivered by the independently-operated Investigating and Disciplinary Committees’ is available to view at the link below in the ‘Related Documents’ section.
