The College of Chiropodists of Ontario (COCOO) is the governing body for chiropodists and podiatrists in Ontario. The Office of the Fairness Commissioner (OFC) oversees the registration practices of the college to ensure that they are transparent, objective, impartial and fair for anyone who wants to practise as a chiropodist or podiatrist in this province.
In 2009, the COCOO submitted its first-ever Fair Registrations Practices (FRP) Report, covering 2008, to the OFC. Since then, it has also submitted an FRP Report covering 2009 and its first audit of registration practices.
