Our Mission
The UKRC exists to provide an authoritative voice and focal point for anyone with a stake in medical and vocational rehabilitation and to support those who are working to help sick and injured people regain their independence.
The Council
The UK Rehabilitation Council is a community of rehabilitation associations, rehabilitation providers, clients and other stakeholder groups. Our common goal is to ensure access to high quality medical and vocational rehabilitation services in the UK.
Acting as an umbrella organisation for this broad community, the Council has been established to provide a united voice on issues of importance to us. The Council seeks to coordinate the efforts of its members, in order that our combined efforts have the greatest possible impact.
We began our work in 2008 with financial support from the Department of Work and Pensions and from the Scottish Centre for Healthy Working Lives.
Council Members are drawn from a broad representation from all sectors involved in or with an interest in rehabilitation.
Our Objectives
- To ensure quality through certification, accreditation, endorsement, standards and research into best practice.
- To provide a one-stop shop for information about rehabilitation.
- To identify/endorse best practice.
- To identify training needs.
- To engage with partners, clients and stakeholders, especially government ministers, departments and agencies, to ensure joint working and sharing of agendas and priorities.
