For all providers on the Treatments You Can Trust Register - Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) - Update

The two key elements of the new Joint Council are now in place.

• The JCCP will be the Regulatory Authority and the Clinical Standards Practice Authority (CSPA) (formerly CSA) will be the standard setting body
• The CPSA will set clinical and practice standards and will take into consideration evidence based practice, untoward incidents and learn from a Complaints database
• The educational standards set by the HEE have now formally transferred in ownership to the JCCP/CSPA
• A new JCCP Strategic Development Group has been established to guide the development phase of the project
• The JCCP will establish a new ‘Code of Practice’ that complements other statutory regulators but with specific reference to aesthetics
• The JCCP and the CPSA will have reciprocal representation to ensure continuity
• The beauty sector will now be brought into the process and represented by HABIA at all levels. A separate sub Group of the JCCP has been established to develop the definition of an Aesthetic Beauty Practitioner and to agree an appropriate name and framework of standards that will be based around the original HEE framework
• The JCCP will be establishing a register which TYCT will be responding to run when the expression for interest is released on 23 January 2017
• The JCCP will establish relationships with other statutory registers.
