We have investigated the issue around automated removals removing a small number of registrants for non payment of fees.
Our investigation concluded that when renewals were submitted late, a further annual fee for the current year was payable and in fact became immediately overdue resulting in removal from the Register. We are working with those individuals who need to remain on the register to automatically restore the membership and dates.
Automated removals for non-fee payment of fees will restart on Monday 20th September 2021.

Removals Issue
15th September 2021
We
have uncovered an issue linked to historical renewals not being completed by a
small number of registrants and which has resulted in a removal notification
being issued. Registration Removals have been halted until this issue is
diagnosed and resolved.
The Social Care Council Database Team are looking into
this as a matter of urgency and where registrants are found to have been
removed in error they will automatically be returned to the register or given
time and a further reminder to pay any outstanding fees.
While
investigation of this issue is underway I would advise that staff notified of
removal from 13
th September 2021 should not be prevented from
working at this tim
