HCPC Social Worker – no case to answer before the investigating committee
Kings View Chambers were successful in persuading the HCPC investigating committee that our client had no case to answer.
After multiple mistakes from my previous solicitor that left my case in an unfavourable state, I contacted Kings View Chambers who diligently supported me with the issues I had with the Health and Care Professional Council (HCPC). They patiently talked me through the process, informed me of what to expect and gave me all the right advice.
I highly recommend Kings View Chambers for anyone who is involved with the HCPC.
