Statement on attendance at hearings
Any prospective attendee must be aware that they cannot make a recording of the hearing itself (audio or visual, deliberate or otherwise) and will be asked to make this agreement on acceptance of terms and conditions prior to gaining access to the hearing itself.
Practical constraints of a particular hearing may mean we have to limit the number of non-party attendees joining at any one time.
By agreeing to this statement, an attendee accepts that a breach of the agreement not to record would be a breach of contract, and the GDC could consider taking legal action for damages.
If the individual was also a GDC registrant, this could be a matter considered as information relating to Fitness to Practise.
At any stage the GDC may have to withdraw public attendance without warning, if we are unable to securely maintain the remote hearing in this format. The Committee may consider it appropriate to hear entire hearings, or certain aspects or hearings,
in private. In these instances, members of the public will not be admitted. For further information, please see our Disclosure and Publications Policy (287.98 KB).
