The Fitness to Practise Committee considers complaints which are referred to it by the Preliminary Proceedings Committee. Members of the committee sit in ‘panels’ for the purpose of considering complaints at inquiry. An inquiry is similar to a hearing that usually takes place in a court or before a tribunal. Members of the committee of inquiry hear and consider evidence and information presented to them.
