What is required for a former regulated member to demonstrate during the reinstatement process?

Demonstrating competence is a critical requirement for a former regulated member during the reinstatement process. It is essential to prove that they possess the necessary skills, knowledge, and abilities to perform their duties effectively. This typically involves providing evidence or undergoing assessments that confirm their current understanding and practical application of the profession's standards and practices, which may have evolved since they last practiced. Competence ensures that the individual is prepared to return to the field and meet the expectations of professionalism and safety required by employers and the public.

While reviewing past work, completing new educational certifications, and obtaining references can also be useful in the context of a professional's career development, they do not directly address the immediacy of being competent to perform the job responsibilities upon reinstatement.
