The General Chiropractic Council (GCC) is a UK-wide statutory body with regulatory powers, established by the Chiropractors Act 1994. It has four main duties:

• 1) To protect the public by establishing and operating a scheme of statutory regulation for chiropractors, similar to the arrangements that cover other healthcare professionals.
• 2) To set the standards of chiropractic education, practice and conduct.
• 3) To ensure the development of the profession of chiropractic, using a model of continuous improvement in practice.
• 4) To promote the profession of chiropractic so that its contribution to the health of the nation is understood and recognized.

As of 14th June 2001 the law will protect the title of ‘chiropractor’ and it will be a criminal offence, liable to prosecution, to describe oneself as a chiropractor without being registered with the GCC.
