SCoPED Update – in respect of HGI involvement
As you may be aware of the work being carried out by the BACP/BPC/UKCP to create a framework called Scope of Practice and Education (SCoPEd).
Background to the 3 year project and the thinking behind it can be found here on the BACP website www.bacp.co.uk/media/5162/scoped-methodology.pdf
The latest version of the framework from July 2020 is here: www.bacp.co.uk/about-us/advancing-the-profession/scoped/scoped-framework/
The Human Givens Institute is involved in ongoing discussions, in collaboration with all the other therapy based PSA members, with the 3 organisations who set up the SCoPED initiative (BACP/BPC/UKCP) and that we have proposed that all PSA therapy organisation become equal partners with shared ownership in the SCoPEd process and framework.
We have received an initial reply to this request and a fuller one is promised for mid September when we can give a fuller update to all members of HGI.
