CNHC Accreditation status
CNHC Condition Status

When we renewed the CNHC’s accreditation in 2024, we issued one condition. In December 2024, we found that this condition had been met. and as a result all Standards continue to be met. Accordingly, accreditation is fully confirmed with no outstanding conditions.

CNHC Targeted Review Status

At the current time we have not identified the need for a Targeted Review.

We conducted a Targeted Review of the CNHC following their 2024-2025 Annual Check. Our Targeted Review focussed on Standard One.

CNHC Register Notification of Change status

The CNHC is proposing to add the Singing Health Specialist role to its Accredited Register. We are considering this through our Notification of Change process. We are interested in evidence and insight you wish to share that will help us assess how these applications impact on CNHC's ability to comply with our Standards.  

The CNHC told us that the Singing Health Specialist (SHS) provides expert care in vocal health, using therapeutic singing to restore, strengthen and optimise voice function. SHSs support essential sectors including education and the performing arts. They deliver personalised intervention for voice difficulties arising from age, illness, injury, mental health or intensive use, complementing clinical Speech and Language Therapy and strengthening health and performance outcomes.

The deadline for sharing feedback with us is by 11 November 2026.
