About the JCCP

The Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP), was formally launched in February 2018 as a ‘self-regulating’ body for the non-surgical aesthetics and hair restoration sector in the United Kingdom and is a registered UK Charity.

The JCCP’s registers

Practitioner Register (PSA accredited)The JCCP operates a practitioner register which is formally accredited by the Professional Standards Authority as part of its Accredited Register Programme.
Education and Training RegisterThe JCCP also operates a non-PSA accredited register for Approved Education and Training Providers and Qualifications.

Licensing in England

It should be noted that the UK Government are currently designing a new scheme of licensing for implementation in England for the non-surgical cosmetic sector. The JCCP is working closely with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and with other relevant regulatory agencies to inform and support the design of new standards that may be introduced within the context of the proposed licensing scheme. The JCCP will subsequently review and amend its criteria, standards and entry conditions to permit entry to both its Practitioner and Education and Training Registers to align with Government mandated requirements once these are determined.
