To regulate well, we **support**our professions and the public. We create resources and guidance that are useful throughout people's careers, helping them to deliver our standards in practice and address new challenges. We also support peopleinvolved in our investigations, and we're increasing our visibility so people feel engaged and empowered to shape our work.

Regulating and supporting our professions allows us to **influence**health and social care. We share intelligence from our regulatory activities and work with our partners to support workforce planning and sector-wide decision making. We useour voice to speak up for a healthy and inclusive working environment for our professions.
