When Regulation Fails

Lives Are Lost

We Are Here to Change That

We are the UK's first independent organisation providing support and systemic accountability for professional regulation across sectors.

If you are facing an investigation…

You are not alone

I NEED SUPPORT NOW

Every Year, Professionals Die by Suicide During Regulatory Investigations

• Year-long delays (average 18+ months)

• Financial devastation (lost income + £10k-£50k legal costs)

• Racial discrimination (Black professionals 4x more likely to be referred)

• Whistleblower retaliation (regulatory referral silences safety concerns)

• Mental health crisis (isolation, anxiety, suicide risk)

Many are later found to have no case to answer.

The system is broken:

This must stop…

And it can

Built by Someone Who's Living It

I'm Ishbel Straker.

I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Prescriber, I was a Clinical Lecturer, expert Witness, TV mental health expert, and I run a CQC-registered clinical service treating over 2000 patients.

I'm also currently under NMC investigation.

I know what this costs:

• The sleepless nights

• The mounting debt

• The isolation

• The feeling the system is designed to break you

I'm one of the lucky ones. I have resources, support, and clinical training.

But many don't. And some don't survive.

That's why I built this…

The Regulatory Justice Foundation exists because:

→ Professionals are dying by suicide during investigations

→ Many are later found to have no case to answer

→ Financial devastation is preventable

→ Racial discrimination is documented but unchanged

→ Whistleblowers face retaliation instead of protection

→ No one is independently monitoring all regulators

→ The gaps are costing lives

I'm building the organisation I needed when my investigation started.

This is personal. This is urgent. This is justice.

Founder & CEO

"Do You Protect Bad Practitioners?"

Answer:

No. We prevent deaths, not accountability.

Our position is simple:

✓ Crisis support is universal—we can't know if someone is "bad" until the investigation concludes

✓ Many who die by suicide are later found to have no case to answer

✓ Fair processes protect the public BETTER than unfair ones

✓ Justice and safety are inseparable

We support strong, effective regulation. That's exactly why we demand it's done justly.

When investigations drag on for years, when Black professionals are disproportionately sanctioned, when whistleblowers face retaliation, when people die by suicide before cases conclude - that doesn't serve public safety. It undermines confidence in regulation.

MISSION STATEMENT
