Wonder how they cover it when someone who is registered and therefore
deemed competent screws up?

When a pro screws up that's in the negligent category they may get into trouble
if found out. Depending on the consequences and the severity of the negligence they could find themselves with anything up to a custodial sentence, though usually loss of registration, fines and community payback are the sanctions.

Of course none of us are perfect and everyone occasionally make a mistake.

Is that you Mr Sirett? Long time no hear!
