We are currently consulting on proposals to increase the renewal fee from £90 to £106 per year, with a similar level of increases to the other fees we charge.
The consultation takes place in the context of keeping pace with the cost of inflation and the impact on our operations and income when social workers in England transfer to Social Work England in 2019.
The increases are needed to support our new strategic focus of promoting professionalism and preventing fitness to practise issues from arising. We also need to continue to invest in the services we offer to registrants.
