This call for evidence will seek insights on the UK’s approach to the recognition of professional qualifications and the regulation of professions. In particular to:

ensure that the way we recognise qualifications from other countries is fair, complements the needs of the UK workforce and maintains high levels of quality and consumer protection;
promote a regulatory environment that supports jobs, social mobility and access to professions for individuals from all backgrounds;
ensure the regulation of professions is forward looking, adaptive and meets the needs of consumers; and
strengthen the UK’s ability to negotiate international trade agreements on recognition of qualifications.
