What the rules say
There's no statutory minimum qualification for general foot care work, provided you never use the protected titles "podiatrist" or "chiropodist" -- those are reserved for HCPC-registered practitioners only. Nearly every professional association, insurer and care-home client will still expect evidence of recognised training. Public liability insurance isn't a legal requirement for a sole trader, but it's close to essential in practice given the hands-on nature of the work.
