Voluntary removal from the Register31

The Council may make such provision in rules as it considers appropriate in connection with applications by registrants for voluntary removal of an entry from any part of the Register and may, in particular, make provision with regard to—
a
the form and manner in which applications are to be made (and the rules may provide that applicants must apply using application forms that are in such form as the Council may determine from time to time);
b
the information to be provided by the applicant;
c
fitness to practise matters;
d
refusal of applications (in such circumstances as may be prescribed in the rules including where there are outstanding fitness to practise proceedings in respect of the applicant).

Where the Registrar refuses an application for voluntary removal from any part of the Register, the Registrar must send to the applicant at the applicant’s last known home address a statement in writing giving the applicant notice of the refusal and of the reasons for it.
