We protect the public by setting standards for education, training, performance and conduct. 

We run consultations because it is important to us that the people who are involved with and affected by our work have a say in how we operate.

If you would like a consultation in a different format (such as braille, accessible PDF, large print, easy read or audio recording), please contact communications@optical.org

This consultation platform launched in 2024. If you want to access our older consultations, please go to the consultations section of the GOC website: Consultations | GeneralOpticalCouncil
