Previous register entry cases: determination by the regulator19
1
Where a previous register entry case does not fall within regulation 18, the regulator must consider whether the registration was fraudulently procured or incorrectly made in accordance with regulation 14 of the Principal Regulations and any rules made under paragraph (6) of that regulation.

For the purposes of paragraph (1)—
a
a social worker’s registration is fraudulently procured or incorrectly made where the entry in the HCPC register from which it is derived was fraudulently procured or incorrectly made,
b
a reference in regulation 14(1)(a) or (7)(a) of the Principal Regulations, or in any rules made under regulation 14(6) of the Principal Regulations, to the registration of the social worker being fraudulently procured or incorrectly made, is treated as a reference to the registration of that person as a social worker in the HCPC register having been fraudulently procured or incorrectly made.
