Professional Regulation

Professional regulation refers to the systems and standards that govern specific professions to ensure that individuals meet required qualifications, adhere to ethical practices, and maintain high standards of competence. These regulations often involve licensing or certification by regulatory bodies, which verify that professionals are properly trained and continue to fulfill ongoing education requirements. This helps protect the public by ensuring that practitioners are accountable for their work, and it promotes trust and safety in services provided, such as in healthcare, law, and engineering.
