FRC Disclosure Policy
Background

In May 2014 the Investigating Committee of Council identified a requirement for a policy to:
“ … disclose any conviction or caution that may affect registered status.”

In November 2014 the FRC approved a draft disclosure policy, noting that it would be implemented from January
2016 thus:
“Council considered the proposed disclosure policy for Registered Farriers to disclose to the FRC any
conviction or caution which may affect their registered status as detailed in the revised ‘A Farrier’s Guide
to Professional Conduct’. Legal advice has confirmed that the FRC could seek disclosure of any unspent
police convictions or cautions from Registered Farriers. In addition, in relation to ATFs only, who would be
working with persons under the age of 18 years, the Council could legitimately request disclosure of all
convictions or cautions, even if they were spent (unless protected).

In October 2015 FRC Sec issued disclosure returns to all registered farriers seeking returns by 15 th January 2016.
Frequently Asked Questions

Is this policy legal? – Yes, the disclosure policy is legal, it has been scrutinised by the FRC’s lawyers and is
fit for purpose.

Did the FRC agree to the policy being introduced? – Yes, the policy was approved by Council at a formal
meeting in November 2014, the policy is now being implemented.

Why is this policy being introduced? – The bond of trust between a professional and their clients is
fundamental to their relationship, clients (in this case equine owners and more broadly the public) wish to
be reassured that practising farriers are of good character.

Do other professions have a disclosure policy? – Yes, the FRC policy is very similar to that operated by the
Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).

Is this not a backdoor way of re-introducing CRB/DBS checks? – No, disclosure of convictions and cautions
should not be confused with CRB (later DBS) checks, Approved Training Farriers (ATFs) have not been
required to undertake DBS checks since 2005 following a change in Government Policy.

FRC Disclosure Policy Continued...

Will every farrier with a criminal or civil conviction end up in front of the disciplinary committee? – No, only
convictions and cautions deemed worthy of attention will be passed to the Investigating Committee (IC) for
consideration, and if necessary the Disciplinary Committee (DC). The FRC has no interest in fixed penalty
offences, for example speeding, parking, dog fouling, etc. Any case that is referred to the IC will be
considered on its merits.

How many farriers are likely to be referred to the Investigating Committee? – Of the returns submitted to the FRC
thus far less than 1% are likely to be referred to the Investigating Committee.

What am I required to disclose to the FRC? – Registered farriers are required to disclose details of any
unspent convictions or cautions. ATFs who may work with those under the age of eighteen years are
required to disclose to the FRC details of any convictions or cautions, even if those convictions or
cautions are spent, unless those convictions or cautions are protected. If in doubt please seek advice from
the FRC who will be able to assist you.

Is it true that the disclosure policy is part of a secret plan to draw up a hit list of farriers to be thrown out of the
profession, rather like a witch-hunt? – No, the disclosure policy seeks only to safeguard the reputation of the
profession and to provide assurance to the public; a witch-hunt would be illegal and with the large number
of diverse people on Council impossible to carry out.

Continuing Professional
Development (CPD)
Update


The FRC Secretariat will shortly be requesting
evidence of CPD activity achieved during 2015 from
those farriers for whom CPD is mandatory.
The FRC will request evidence of completion of
annual CPD requirements; i.e. the achievement of
10 CPD points during 2015. If the 10 points have
not been achieved, evidence of 30 points over the
last 3 years will be accepted.
Who must complete CPD?

It is expected that all farriers will continue their
professional education by keeping up to date on
developments in farriery, in business and with regard
to compliance and customer service.

It is mandatory for Approved Training Farriers
(ATFs) and newly qualified Registered Farriers from
1st January 2016 to achieve a minimum of 10 CPD
points each year.







Can I count my membership of affiliated bodies and/or
committees as CPD?



No, you are responsible for keeping a record of your
CPD activities.
What do I need to do?

You must keep a record of your CPD activity that is
legible, either electronically online on the website
www.farrierycpd.org, on your own computer or in
hardcopy on paper.

Your record should contain entries which cover the
full review period. If there are gaps, you should
provide an adequate explanation which can be
substantiated with appropriate evidence.
What activities can I record as CPD?


There is no defined activity requirement. However,
as a guide, the following activities may lead to
learning that could be included in a CPD record:
Learning knowledge and skills at conferences,
Do as much CPD as you can and keep your CPD
record up to date
You should aim to complete more than the
minimum
amount of CPD activity each year.
Keeping your CPD record up to date will mean
that you do not have to complete a large number of
CPD entries within a fairly short timescale when your
CPD record is called for review.
Will the FRC keep a record of the CPD I complete each
year?

Take part in a range of different types of learning
You should take part in and record CPD from
different types of learning that are relevant to
farriery. It is good practice to take part in some
activities where you can learn with other farriery
professionals,
for
example
workshops,
confer ences and professional body meetings. It is
also good practice to attend events that provide an
opportunity
for
networking
and
discussing
professional issues with your peers.
Failure to achieve the minimum CPD requirement
may result in referral to the Investigating and/or
Disciplinary Committees of the FRC as a matter of
serious professional misconduct.
If you have had a career break or taken maternity or
paternity leave during the period covered by our
CPD review, it is acceptable to have gaps in your
CPD record. You will need to advise us of the
reasons for these gaps and provide supporting
written evidence.
No, membership alone is not CPD.
However,
farriers are encouraged to join professional and
trade associations and to take advantage of the
support
and
various
learning
opportunities
provided. The FRC recommends membership of the
British Farriers and Blacksmiths Association (BFBA)
to all farriers.
What does best practice look like?
What if I have had a career break?

seminars, professional meetings and on courses.
Self-directed learning including reading, writing or
undertaking research on advances in farriery or
veterinary science.
Study for advanced qualifications.
Learning with others e.g. by attending workshops.
Acquiring new business skills, including customer
service, information technology, employment law,
financial understanding, health & safety and stock
management.
Acquiring teaching skills through courses or
qualification.
Preparing and giving lectures and presentations.

Top Tip
For each CPD activity you undertake you should be
able to complete the following sentence: “What I
learned from this activity was …”
FRC Abuse Statement
I regret that it has become necessary to highlight the Farriers
Registration Council (FRC) policy on abusive behaviour.
The FRC staff are committed to providing you with the highest
level of service on behalf of your regulatory body at all times; the
FRC staff have the right to provide that service in a safe
environment.
The FRC will not tolerate violence (or threats of violence),
aggression or abuse aimed at the FRC staff; should such
behaviour take place the FRC staff may refer the incident to the
Investigating Committee of the FRC, and may make a report to
the appropriate law enforcement or civil authorities.
WORK EXPERIENCE WITH A REGISTERED FARRIER
Farriers are registered with the Farriers Registration Council (FRC) in accordance with the Farriers (Registration) Act 1975,
as amended, and are expected to comply with the Farrier’s Guide to Professional Conduct.
ILLEGAL FARRIERY
A pre-apprentice or those undertaking work experience may not:




Remove shoes prior to shoeing
Prepare a foot for shoeing
Attach shoes by nailing or any other means
Clench up
Only registered farriers or an approved apprentice who is subject to a valid learning agreement and an employment
agreement with an Approved Training Farrier (ATF) may undertake such activities.
Pre-apprentices or those undertaking work experience must not carry out any of the above activities; to do so is to commit
an illegal act.
ATFs or registered farriers employing or working with unregistered persons who may be undertaking acts of farriery are
liable to be suspended or removed from the Register of Farriers.
If you have been asked to do any of the above and are not registered or begun your official apprenticeship then please
contact the FRC.
ONLY REGISTERED FARRIERS AND APPROVED APPRENTICES
CAN CARRY OUT ACTS OF FARRIERY





Farriery includes all stages of foot preparation for shoeing including, but not limited to, shoe removal, trimming,
nailing, clenching and rasping.
Only registered farriers, approved farriery apprentices, qualified and trainee veterinary surgeons and persons
carrying out first aid in an emergency may legally practice farriery.
Work experience, even as a pre-apprentice, is not an apprenticeship.
Illegal farriery is a criminal offence and can result in a court appearance, a criminal record and a fine of up to
£1000 plus costs.
The FRC considers aiding and abetting illegal farriery by a registered farrier may be serious professional
misconduct, and it may result in suspension or removal from the Register of Farriers.
PERMISSIBLE WORK EXPERIENCE ACTIVITIES

All non farriery activities are permissible, including:
Forging
Horse handling
General assistance
Observation
Being shown, under close supervision, how to remove a shoe in an emergency
EMPLOYMENT LAW




Only ATFs can offer apprenticeships and the conditions of farriery apprentices are monitored by the Colleges
offering farriery apprenticeships. All employees are covered by employment law with regard to wages, hours of
work, holidays, health and safety, equal opportunities etc.
The FRC expects all registered farriers to treat their employees in a fair and reasonable manner and in
accordance with their contracts of employment.
Completion of a period of work experience does not guarantee an apprenticeship.
ATFs and Registered Farriers should have appropriate insurance cover for their employees and persons on work
experience.

Temporary Licence and Overseas Applications
The FRC recognises that some farriers from overseas may wish to practice here for short periods of seasonal work,
limited experience, competitions etc, and that it may not be practicable or worthwhile for such persons to take the
DipWCF in order to do so. Temporary applications may be made by those who have at least two years regular and
gainful employment in farriery outside Great Britain. Applicants must provide suitable references, copies of work permits
and pay a temporary licence fee (if appropriate).
Since the last Bulletin the following have made successful applications for a Fixed Term Temporary Licence


The FRC’s constitution is set out in law.

There are 16 members of Council.

Of the 16 members four members are elected and twelve members are appointed.

Of the current 16 members of Council six members are farriers, so farriers make up 37.5% of Council.

Of the 6 farriers members of Council four farriers are elected by registered farriers, and two farriers are appointed
by the BFBA.

Elections for the 4 elected farriers take place every 3 years, the next election takes place in 2017, to take up
positions on Council in 2018.

2 Veterinary Surgeons are Council Members.

5 other equestrian focussed bodies appoint members of Council: the RSPCA; Lantra; Scottish Enterprise; the British
Horseracing Authority and the British Equestrian Federation.

The Registrar is not a member of Council.

The Worshipful Company of Farriers (WCF), who set both standards and requirements for the profession, appoint 3
members to Council, including the Chairman.

The Government Department that oversee farriery (Defra) conduct consultations on the constitution of farriery and
other matters from time to time; consultations are open to professionals and to members of the public.


consultation is to take place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where may I view the FRC constitution? A copy of Farriers (Registration) Act 1975 is hosted on the FRC website; you
may access it at the following link http://www.farrier-reg.gov.uk/news-and-events/publications/the-farriers-registrationact-1975/. The constitution is set out at Schedule 1 of the Act (Page 11 of the online pdf version).
Why are there less farriers on Council than non-farriers? All regulatory bodies in the UK are weighted in favour of lay
members; this is so that the public (and in the case of the FRC, equine owners) may have confidence that the
profession is being properly held to account and not simply making life comfortable for itself.
How do I get to vote in the next election? Every registered farrier will receive a ballot paper by post, the ballot paper will
come with instructions for completions and return. Please make sure the FRC have your up to date address
details.
Can I stand for election to Council? Yes, every registered farrier may stand for election, please ask the FRC for details.
Can the election be subject to fraud and who counts the votes? No, the ballot papers are issued by, and votes counted by
independent bodies, the FRC are notified of the result.
How do I take part in a Consultation? Most consultations take place on line; the organisation running the consultation will
publish a link that takes you to the consultation document. The FRC will publicise a consultation in advance of it
taking place via the Bulletin and the FRC website.
How realistic is it that a consultation will actually change anything? The last consultation proposed a number of changes
that have been enacted; some proposals do not enjoy the level of support necessary to secure the change. For
example the last consultation asked whether the Chairman of Council should continue to be appointed by the
WCF; a little over 66% of responses said that the current arrangements should continue. Future consultations
may suggest a different view.
What function do the 4 elected farrier members of Council perform? In addition to being Council members the 4 elected
farriers are members of, variously, the Registration, Investigating and Disciplinary Committees. So the 4 elected
farriers play a full part in policy formulation for the profession. At both Committee and Council level the elected
farriers provide the essential views of the profession to ensure that policies and practices are realistic and
practicable. It is key that the elected farriers regularly communicate with their electorate and explain the
rationale behind Council policy and practices.
Continued on page 8…
Page 7
FRC Constitution Continued...
Why does the FRC not stick up for the farrier? The FRC is a regulatory body, it exists to provide assurance to the equine,
the equine owner and to the public. The FRC is not anti-farrier, but it must carry out its role with objectivity and
must not be perceived as being ‘in the pocket’ of the profession.
