BABCP: Accreditation

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:48:08 BST

Accreditation as Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist

Only members of BABCP can apply to become Accredited as Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists. They will need to meet the Criteria for Accreditation which are available below.

Once Accredited, members are in the BABCP Directory of Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists which is on the website and available to the public, members and other professionals seeking a CBT. Accreditation also entitles members to be on the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) Register on payment of an additional fee. Applicants must work, or intend to work, in the UK or Ireland.

Accreditation Fees
From June 20th 2008

Application Fee for Provisional Accreditation	£80
Application Fee for KSA route Applicants	£110
Application Fee for ReAccreditation	£55
Annual Fee for Accreditation Administration	£25
Annual Subscription Fee for Website	£75

Criteria for Accreditation as a Cognitive and/or Behavioural Psychotherapist

New Guidelines for Accreditation: please ensure that you read the new criteria and guidelines before applying.

All applications for accreditation as a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist are now ‘provisional' in the sense that accreditation is granted for only one year in the first instance. This means that the entry criteria and Minimum Training Standards for Accreditation have been met. Full accreditation is dependent on submission (12 months after date of provisional accreditation) of an application for ‘full accreditation' - along with cbt supervision and cbt cpd logs - and current supervisor report.
Effectively, there is no difference in status implied between ‘provisional' and ‘full' accreditation. There is, however, a difference in stage of Accreditation; at Provisional stage applicants will have met 4 of the 7 criteria, and at Full stage all 7 criteria will have been met. Both stages are competent to practice as Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists.

The Criteria and guidelines for Provisional Accreditation (June 2008) can be downloaded below
Applying for Accreditation

Members wishing to apply for Accreditation need to download the following documents for information and application forms:

BABCP: What is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy?

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 12:51:55 BST

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy. It can help people who are experiencing a wide range of mental health difficulties. What people think can affect how they feel and how they behave. This is the basis of CBT.

During times of mental distress, people think differently about themselves and what happens to them. Thoughts can become extreme and unhelpful. This can worsen how a person feels. They may then behave in a way that prolongs their distress.

CBT practitioners help each person identify and change their extreme thinking and unhelpful behaviour. In doing this, the result is often a major improvement in how a person feels and lives.

What is CBT – Royal College factsheet

The following paper presents a more detailed explanation. Download pdf version

A Guide to CBT

Overview

Cognitive and behavioural psychotherapies are a range of therapies based on concepts and principles derived from psychological models of human emotion and behaviour. They include a wide range of treatment approaches for emotional disorders, along a continuum from structured individual psychotherapy to self-help material.

Theoretical Perspective and Terminology

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is one of the major orientations of psychotherapy (Roth & Fonagy, 2005) and represents a unique category of psychological intervention because it derives from cognitive and behavioural psychological models of human behaviour that include for instance, theories of normal and abnormal development, and theories of emotion and psychopathology.

Behaviour therapy, the earliest of the cognitive and behavioural psychotherapies, is based on the clinical application of extensively researched theories of behaviour, such as learning theory (in which the role of classical and operant conditioning are seen as primary). Early behavioural approaches did not directly investigate the role of cognition and cognitive processes in the development or maintenance of emotional disorders.Cognitive therapy is based on the clinical application of the more recent, but now also extensive research into the prominent role of cognitions in the development of emotional disorders.

The term ‘Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy’ (CBT) is variously used to refer to behaviour therapy, cognitive therapy, and to therapy based on the pragmatic combination of principles of behavioural and cognitive theories. New CBT interventions are keeping pace with developments in the academic discipline of psychology in areas such as attention, perception, reasoning, decision making etc.

What is CBT?

Cognitive and/or behavioural psychotherapies (CBP) are psychological approaches based on scientific principles and which research has shown to be effective for a wide range of problems. Clients and therapists work together, once a therapeutic alliance has been formed, to identify and understand problems in terms of the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. The approach usually focuses on difficulties in the here and now, and relies on the therapist and client developing a shared view of the individual’s problem. This then leads to identification of personalised, usually time-limited therapy goals and strategies which are continually monitored and evaluated. The treatments are inherently empowering in nature, the outcome being to focus on specific psychological and practical skills (e.g. in reflecting on and exploring the meaning attributed to events and situations and re-evaluation of those meanings) aimed at enabling the client to tackle their problems by harnessing their own resources. The acquisition and utilisation of such skills is seen as the main goal, and the active component in promoting change with an emphasis on putting what has been learned into practice between sessions (“homework”). Thus the overall aim is for the individual to attribute improvement in their problems to their own efforts, in collaboration with the psychotherapist. Cognitive and/or behavioural psychotherapists work with individuals, families and groups. The approaches can be used to help anyone irrespective of ability, culture, race, gender or sexual preference. Cognitive and/or behavioural psychotherapies can be used on their own or in conjunction with medication, depending on the severity or nature of each client’s problem.

Titles and Levels of Practice

Cognitive and/or Behavioural Psychotherapists are usually health professionals such as specialist mental health nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists, general practitioners, social workers, counsellors or occupational therapists who have received additional cognitive and/or behavioural therapy training and supervision (see Appendix 1 for an outline of the skills required by a CBT therapist). Whilst all cognitive and behavioural psychotherapists share the above principles, individual therapists may call themselves by different titles. The title used may reflect the theoretical underpinnings of the specific therapy delivered (e.g “behaviour therapist” if therapy is based on the principles of learning theory, “cognitive therapist”, if therapy is based on the principles of a cognitive model of emotional disorders), but more often the term “cognitive behaviour therapist” is used by practitioners, referring to therapy based on either cognitive or behavioural principles, or a combination of these. The terms “psychotherapist” and “therapist” or “psychotherapy” and “therapy” are used synonymously. Whatever title they use, the approach is commonly referred to as CBT.

There are different levels of the practice of CBT, which require very different skill levels on the part of the person talking to the “client”.

Formulation driven CBT (individual or group CBT for a range of people and problem areas) – This is a form of psychotherapy, the clients are not able to help themselves and have sought help from a trained professional and require expert interventions from an appropriately trained and supervised CBT psychotherapist. The relationship between the therapist and the client is paramount and expert skills are required to engage the client in a therapeutic alliance. Once this is established therapy can proceed collaboratively through assessment, formulation and intervention. The therapist using various cognitive and/or behavioural techniques as appropriate. They would evaluate the efficacy of any intervention and change tack if necessary.
CBT approaches - Specific CBT interventions for specific problem areas (e.g. concordance training; relapse prevention work in people with a diagnosis of Schizophrenia; identification of symptoms and specific CBT intervention in post-partum depression; anger management groups, anxiety management groups, pain management etc). This is not a form of psychotherapy as the health workers are implementing a technical intervention, they are not required to formulate and adapt the treatment. The health workers will have received training in specified CBT interventions for particular problem areas, and should be receiving supervision from a CBT psychotherapist.
Assisted self-help (computerized CBT, self-help material presented to a support group or individuals by a health worker, such as a graduate mental health worker or assistant psychologist) – This is not a form of Psychotherapy and only limited, if any, formal CBT skills or training are required by the individual introducing the approach, such individuals should not be claiming that they are ‘doing’ CBT.
Self-help (books, bibliotherapy) – This is not a form of psychotherapy and no CBT skills or training are required by the individual reading the self-help material.

The Evidence Base for CBT

Treatment interventions are predicated on a robust evidence base derived from studies utilising randomised controlled and single-case methodologies that have demonstrated the efficacy and effectiveness of cognitive and behavioural psychotherapies in the treatment of common mental health problems, including the anxiety disorders, generalised anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, bulimia and depression as identified by a host of recent reviews by NICE, SIGN and other review bodies. CBT models have also been developed for use in an increasing range of mental health and health difficulties including severe and enduring mental health problems, such as psychosis, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, anger control, pain, adjustment to physical health problems, insomnia and organic syndromes, such as early stage dementia. There is an extensive research base around behavioural approaches in working with children and people with learning disabilities, severe and enduring mental health problems and “challenging behaviour” generally. More recently CT and CBT have become the treatments of choice for adolescent depression, and for use with children and in intellectual disability (learning disability). Research into the contribution of psychological factors to physical health problems (such as low back pain, chronic fatigue, recovery from surgery for example) is growing and has led to the development of CB approaches in these areas.

Developments in cognitive therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy and/or behaviour therapy research, theory and practice (particularly in the development, or refinement, of clinical techniques/methods) are occurring rapidly. So are developments in cognitive and behavioural psychological perspectives of normal and abnormal psychological processes such as human development and emotion. The application of cognitive, behavioural and cognitive-behavioural theory and approaches is happening in many fields other than mental health, eg. Education and training, public health, organisational psychology, forensic psychology, management consultancy, sports psychology for instance.

Key Concepts in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

The cognitive component in the cognitive-behavioural psychotherapies refers to how people think about and create meaning about situations, symptoms and events in their lives and develop beliefs about themselves, others and the world. Cognitive therapy uses techniques to help people become more aware of how they reason, and the kinds of automatic thought that spring to mind and give meaning to things.

Cognitive interventions use a style of questioning to probe for peoples’ meanings and use this to stimulate alternative viewpoints or ideas. This is called ‘guided discovery’, and involves exploring and reflecting on the style of reasoning and thinking, and possibilities to think differently and more helpfully. On the basis of these alternatives people carry out behavioural experiments to test out the accuracy of these alternatives, and thus adopt new ways of perceiving and acting. Overall the intention is to move away from more extreme and unhelpful ways of seeing things to more helpful and balanced conclusions.

The behavioural component in the cognitive-behavioural psychotherapies refers to the way in which people respond when distressed. Responses such as avoidance, reduced activity and unhelpful behaviours can act to keep the problems going or worsen how the person feels. CBT practitioners aim to help the person feel safe enough to gradually test out their assumptions and fears and change their behaviours. For example this might include helping people to gradually face feared or avoided situations as a means to reducing anxiety and learning new behavioural skills to tackle problems.

Importantly the cognitive and behavioural psychotherapies aim to directly target distressing symptoms, reduce distress, re-evaluate thinking and promote helpful behavioural responses by offering problem-focussed skills-based treatment interventions.

Key Factors Influencing the Effective Delivery of CBT

Therapeutic relationship – a trusting, safe, therapeutic alliance is essential but not sufficient for successful CBT.
Collaboration–
- Is a way of being with clients based on an equal partnership, each party bringing something to the relationship. The therapist brings skills and knowedge of psychological processes, theories of emotion and techniques that have helped others and could help the current client. The client is an expert in their own experience, and brings their own resources.
- The therapist should not have pre-conceived ideas about where the therapy is going.
- The overall aim is for the individual to attribute improvement in their problems to their own efforts, in collaboration with the psychotherapist.
- Therapy is not experienced as something that has been “done to” the client.
Formulation – a unique map or hypothesis of presenting problems or situations which integrate information from assessments within a coherent CBT framework drawing upon theory and evidence based practice.
Socratic dialogue/ guided discovery – is a style of questioning to both gently probe for people’s meanings and to stimulate althernative ideas. It involves exploring and reflecting on styles of reasoning and thinking and possibilities to think differently. CBT is not about trying to prove a client wrong and the therapist right, or getting into unhelpful debates – rather by skillfully collaborating, clients come to see for themselves (discover) that there are alternatives
Homework – the client tries things out in between therapy sessions, putting what has been learned into practice. This is referred to as homework and sometimes includes behavioural experiments.

CBT Compared to other Modalities and Myths about CBT:

The cognitive and behavioural psychotherapies target problems in the here and now with much less therapeutic time devoted to experiences in early life.

The therapeutic relationship is seen as an essential ingredient but unlike other psychotherapies is not viewed as the main vehicle of change. Instead the focus is in collaborative working on jointly agreed problems.

The effectiveness of CBT is supported by evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs), uncontrolled trials, case series and case studies.

It is both highly structured (although always based on a formulation of the relationship between the client’s presenting problems and underlying cognitive and/or behavioural processes) and flexible due to the constant evaluation of the outcome of the interventions.

Cognitive therapists do not usually interpret or seek for unconscious motivations but bring cognitions and beliefs into the current focus of attention (consciousness) and through guided discovery encourage clients to gently re-evaluate their thinking.

It is a form of therapy that addresses problems in a direct and targeted way.

It focuses on a shared model of understanding, using a psycho-educational approach, open sharing of the formulation and teaching of self-evaluation and management skills.

Its potency as a model is shown by its increasing use and accumulating recommendation by a range of evidence-based guidelines.

The process of therapy and the skills required by CBT psychotherapists:

Assessment – knowledge and understanding of a range of CBT assessments.

Formulation – to derive formulations of presenting problems or situations which integrate information from assessments within a coherent CBT framework drawing upon theory and evidence based practice.

Intervention – On the basis of the formulation the therapist will be able to implement therapy or intervention techniques appropriate to the presenting problem and to the psychological and social circumstances of the client.

Evaluation – to select and implement appropriate methods to evaluate the effectiveness, acceptability and broader impact of the interventions (both individual and organisational), and use this information to inform and shape practice.

Key skills of CBT Psychotherapists:

CBT is a research based approach to therapy:

CBT psychotherapists must have an effective understanding of the range of cognitive, cognitive-behavioural and/or behavioural models of Human Behaviour and/or the Person.
CBT psychotherapists must have an effective understanding of the theoretical and research-based models of individual development across the lifespan, and within the cultural and social contexts prevailing.

CBT psychotherapists must have a g ood knowledge of the philosophical and theoretical bases of CBT, their practical application to various client groups and their current empirical status.
CBT psychotherapist are able to identify and critically evaluate relevant research.

The CBT psychotherapist should be able to justify the interventions being used with clients on the basis of research evidence.

The process of therapy itself is based on a scientist-practitioner model. A hypothesis (formulation) is formed which leads to an intervention the results of which are then evaluated for their effectiveness. Conclusions are drawn and the hypothesis may change due to the outcome of the intervention and evaluation process. This in turn may lead to the intervention being changed.

Therapeutic skills:

An ability to engage clients and form a collaborative working relationship with them.
Ability to conduct a comprehensive assessment involving interview, observation, data collection and the use of relevant clinical measures.
An ability to formulate a model of therapeutic change using theory, principles and research derived from the cognitive, cognitive-behavioural and/or behavioural approaches to therapeutic change.
Use educational strategies and relationship skills to inform the client/patient and encourage their active participation in clinical decision-making and the development of a personalised therapeutic programme based on cognitive and/or behavioural theoretical principles and research.
Implement a therapeutic programme with the active participation of the client/patient, skilfully using a range of cognitive and/or behavioural methods to teach /coach them in the acquisition of improved skills in their use of more adaptive cognitive, behavioural and physiologically responsive strategies for the alleviation of distress and development of personal effectiveness.
Monitor the effects of treatment, reinforcing and shaping the client/patients participation; modifying the treatment procedures as dictated by progress, data feedback and collaborative problem-solving.
Skilfully utilise the clinical environment, community resources and the clients own home setting (as relevant), with the involvement of client/patient partner, family and significant others (where relevant and with the client/patients informed consent) to facilitate and generalize effective change and feedback.
Evaluate client/patient progress through the collaborative clinical relationship, preparing them for increased independence from therapeutic help and discharging them from active treatment into a planned follow-up process that audits clinical effectiveness through client/patient outcome measures.

Professional skills:

Skills, knowledge and ethical values to work effectively with clients from a diverse range backgrounds, understanding and respecting the impact of difference and diversity upon their lives including service and user-led systems and other elements of the wider community.
High level skills in managing a personal learning agenda and self-care, and in critical reflection and self-awareness that enable transfer of knowledge and skills to new settings and problems.
Ability to think critically, reflectively and evaluatively. To have an understanding of the supervision process and use supervision to reflect on practice.
Have an understanding of the applicability of CBT across a wide range of client groups.

BABCP: Find A Therapist/Search the CBT Register

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:50:01 BST

The CBT Register lists all the BABCP Accredited Cognitive/Behavioural Therapist.

If you wish to check if a therapist is Accredited you can search on their surname, if the therapist has requested a full contact details listing there will be a link to another page where this information can be viewed.

Other search options which will only return results of therapists who do have contact details available are:

County, - - will present details of the available therapists in the county

Post Code - Entering the first part of a postcode will return details of any therapists within that postal area.

Specialism - - This option can be used to narrow down the results to those who indicate that they specialise in treating certain problems. Whilst we encourage therapists to keep us updated on all their specialities they are very busy and sometimes may not list a problem that they do deal with or may list a problem that they no longer specialise in. You can choose one or two to narrow down the results - if you choose two specialisms the results will only be those who have BOTH listed.

Language - other than English -- If you are looking for a therapist who speaks a specific language there is a list of all those languages that Accredited members have indicated that they speak, however, it is not guaranteed that there will be anyone currently on the list who does speak a particular language

Methodologies -- Some therapists use different types of CBT such as schema-focussed, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy and others; if you wish to search for a therapist who specialises in a particular therapy you can use this search. PLEASE NOTE- At the present time not all therapists have updated their details for this information so the results will be very restricted.

You can use multiple searches but please remember the more options you choose the less results you will get.

BABCP: CBT Training Courses

Fri, 4 Jul 2008 11:40:40 BST

Important information about the courses listed

This is a listing of courses known to substantially contribute to meeting the Minimum Training Standards or having been Accredited by BABCP as meeting those standards.

The courses not Accredited are on the list because they are known to have been used by applicants for Practitioner Accreditation as contributing to their evidence of specialist CBT training - and are therefore familiar to the Accreditor Panel.

However, this does not denote that they have been formally assessed and BABCP is not able to give an opinion on the quality or quantity of training provided by such courses

Courses which have been through the formal BABCP Course Accreditation process will have been matched and evaluated for quality and content against the requirements for individual practitioner accreditation as laid down in the Minimum Training Standards.

If the course has been formally evaluated at Level 2, this denotes that all the requirements are covered. If the course has been formally evaluated at Level 1, this denotes that some requirements are met - and a specific quantification of this will be provided in course literature.

Applicants for Practitioner Accreditation can only be deemed to have completed an Accredited Course if they commenced that course AFTER the date it was Accredited. This is because we have found in all courses so far applying for accreditation, there has been a need for some changes to be able to meet the course accreditation criteria. Applicants who have completed a course prior to its Accreditation may still, of course, use it as evidence for their specialised CBT training but it will not be automatically accepted in the same way as an Accredited course.

Level 2 Accredited Courses:

Level 1 Accredited Courses:

BABCP: BABCP Course Accreditation Registrar

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:35:13 BST

BABCP Course Accreditation Registrar for Accreditation of CBT Courses

Job Title: Course Accreditation Registrar

Location: Working from own location or BABCP office, Bury, Lancashire

Hours of Work: 15 hours flexibly throughout the week. Possible renegotiation after initial assessment of volume of work

Salary: £37,543 pa - pay award pending (paid pro rata to hours of work = £15,220 pa)

Contract: For one year initially, with possibility of extension

Job specification

Reporting to: Chair of BABCP Course Accreditation Committee and ultimately the Board of Directors of BABCP.

Organization and context: In furtherance of its objectives, the BABCP maintains standards for practitioners of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies by providing an opportunity for members in the UK & Republic of Ireland who meet the training standards and other criteria, to become accredited. Once accredited as individual practitioners, members are entered on a BABCP Register. In order to ensure that training courses provide training which is consistent with this, the BABCP has set national standards for training courses which are contributing to the training programmes of therapists. Courses can become accredited if they can demonstrate that they can adhere to these standards both in the quality of the training provided (Level 1 accreditation) and in the quantity of this training (Level 2 accreditation).

The Course Accreditation Registrar's role within this operation is to develop the Course Accreditation Register, together with the Course Accreditation Committee in line with BABCP objectives to ensure the prompt and correct accreditation and reaccreditation of CBT courses [including those under the auspices of the Government Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) initiative], and to provide an impartial and informed information service for courses' personnel.

The Course Accreditation Registrar may work from the BABCP central office or from their own location (e.g. their own home) where it will be assumed they have the necessary facilities for this. However there will be support for additional costs if needed e.g. computer, communications, stationery and postage costs.

Duties and responsibilities

The Course Accreditation Registrar will be assisted by the BABCP office administration team who will deal directly with many routine matters. The Course Accreditation Registrar may only be directly involved in complex issues but will take overall responsibility for:

1. Receiving, checking and approving applications from CBT courses requiring consideration for accreditation within the agreed criteria and accreditation processes. For example, liaising and providing advice to CBT Course Directors, setting up Course Accreditation panels, referring to committee members or full committee, communicating with other relevant personnel as required.

2. Dealing with general enquiries by post, telephone and email.

3. Assisting the Course Accreditation Committee to implement the business plan, and preparing reports and information for the Board of Directors and others as required, such as the Supervisor & Trainer Accreditation Committee and the Individual Practitioner Accreditation Committee.

4. Managing programmes of training and supporting course accreditation panel members in their work on course accreditation panels.

5. Preparing reports, analysis and data on those courses applying for and receiving accreditation.

6. Advising course applicants about the suitability of their credentials for accreditation.

7. Attending the BABCP office and relevant meetings as and when appropriateÍ¾ for example, the Course Accreditation Committee, other Accreditation Committees, the National Committees Forum and BABCP Board.

8. Liaising with the administrative and processing function.

9. Ensuring all material is properly stored and filed - especially records of applicants and documentation of course panel deliberations in liaison with central office administration ensuring compliance with data protection requirements.

10.Providing articles and news items for publication in the BABCP publications such as magazines, journals and newsletters and for the BABCP Website.

11.Processing appeals under the direction of the Chair of the Course Accreditation Committee

12.Providing information for book keeping and audit purposes.

Customer care

The Course Accreditation Registrar will proactively develop and maintain the highest standards of customer care in all areas of responsibility.

Staff support: The Course Accreditation Registrar will be a positive role model for all staff.

Relationships (communication): The Course Accreditation Registrar will:

Maintain effective communication at all times, ensuring that all information is shared with relevant staff
Develop and maintain professional working relationships with all personnel.
Provide regular feedback to the Chair of Course Accreditation Committee ensuring that they are advised of all developments and problems within the Register Administrator's area of responsibility.
Act at all times in the best interest of the organisation to further good public and
Maintain direct communication with any other organisations formed for the

3 Staff development

The Course Accreditation Registrar will:

BABCP: Proposal to increase Membership Subscriptions, 2008

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:03:16 BST

AGM 2008 Agenda Item 6. Membership Subscriptions 2008/09

At the Annual General Meeting in Brighton, 13 September 2007, it was agreed that membership subscriptions should be increased from October 2007 by approximately 13% not only to cover inflation but also to help fund additional services and developments. Additionally we were advised that our reserves were too low and also needed increasing.

The annual report from the trustees will show that we were successful last year in achieving the financial objectives. During the current year 2008/09 there is a need for further increased funding over and above inflation for more new developments and improvements to services to the membership. The main ones are the production of a special additional issue of the Journal, Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy which will be a collection of papers under the title ‘Current Theory and Practice of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy. The new ejournal ‘The Cognitive Behaviour Therapist' will be launched and we will have the full financial impact of this. The first year after launch is likely to cost about £7 per member and last year's subscription increases do not cover all of this. Another major development still requiring further funding is the new website which will be launched by the time of the conference which will be much more interactive allowing members to access increasing services on-line.

It is for these reasons that the Trustees are recommending increases of approximately 11% at the AGM on 17th July 2008. However students/trainees/unwaged members' subscriptions will only rise by inflation. Later in the year it is hoped to launch a ‘rolling membership year' where subscriptions are renewed at the anniversary of joining, rather than always on the 1st October. Additionally we will provide the opportunity to pay subscriptions by instalments by direct debit throughout the year. We still consider that membership is extremely good value for money and subscriptions are substantially lower than in most comparable organisations.

The Board of Directors (Trustees) will propose the following rates of membership subscriptions to apply from 1st October 2008 to 30th September 2009:

FULL YEAR RATES

*All overseas mail via Air	UK & Ireland	Overseas*
Paid by Direct Debit	£52.00	£60.00
Paid by Cash/Cheque annually	£60.00	£68.00
Students/Trainees/Unwaged by Direct Debit	£23.00	£34.00
Students/Trainees/Unwaged by Cheque	£26.00	£36.00

pa)

Contract: For one year initially with possibility of extension

Job Description

Reporting to: The Chair of Accreditation & Registration Committee via Senior
Accreditation Liaison Officer and ultimately the Board of Directors of BABCP.

Organisation context:

In furtherance of its objects, the BABCP maintains standards for practitioners of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies by providing an opportunity for members in UK & Republic of Ireland who meet the training standards and other criteria, to become accredited.
Once Accredited, members are entered on a BABCP Register.
Accreditation of CBT Training Courses by BABCP and Accreditation of individual members as Supervisors and/or Trainers are also now in operation.
With the recent developments in the governments ‘Improving Access to Psychological Therapies' (IAPT) programme, there is a rapid and growing demand for Accreditation of individuals and courses. The work of the BABCP Accreditation Liaison Officer is consequently expanding rapidly.

The Accreditation Liaison Officer's role within this operation is to assist the Senior Accreditation Liaison Officer in developing the Accreditation Register, and services for itsmembers, together with the A&R Committee in line with BABCP objectives. It is also to help ensure the prompt and correct accreditation and reaccreditation of individuals who wish to be or to become members of the Register, and to provide an impartial and informed information service.

The Accreditation Liaison Officer may work from the BABCP central office in Bury, Lancashire or from their own location (e.g. their own home) where it will be assumed they have the necessary facilities for this. However there will be support for some of the additional costs if needed e.g. computer, communications, stationery and postage costs.

Duties and responsibilities:

The Senior and Accreditation Liaison Officers will be assisted by the BABCP office administration team who will deal directly with many routine matters. The Senior and Accreditation Liaison Officers may only be directly involved in complex issues arising out of responsibilities for:

1) Receiving, checking and approving registration applications from BABCP members within the agreed criteria and accreditation processes. For example, advising panel accreditors, acting as first or second accreditors, referring to committee members or full committee, communicating with applicant's supervisors, trainers and referees as required.
2) Dealing with general enquiries by post, telephone and email.
3) Managing programmes of training and supporting accreditation panel members in their work as initial Accreditors.
4) Preparing reports, analysis and data on the membership of the Register and it's applicants.
5) Advising applicants about the suitability of their qualifications for accreditation, and training, personal development and CPD required for accreditation.
6) Attending the BABCP office and relevant meetings as and when appropriate, for example, the A&R Committee and other Accreditation Committees.
7) Liaising with the administrative and processing function.
8) Ensuring all material is properly stored and filed - especially personal records of applicants.
9) Helping to maintain a database of records of personal details, qualifications, etc. and ensure compliance with data protection requirements.
10) Providing support for book keeping and audit purposes.

Customer care:

The Accreditation Liaison Officer will proactively develop and maintain the highest standards of customer care in all areas of responsibility.

Staff support:

The Accreditation Liaison Officer will be a positive role model for all staff.

Relationships (communication):

The Accreditation Liaison Officer will:
· Maintain effective communication at all times, ensuring that all information is shared with relevant staff
· Develop and maintain professional working relationships with all Register
personnel.
· Act at all times in the best interest of the organisation to further good public and
member relations.
· Maintain direct communication with any other organisations formed for the
development of registration of psychotherapy as required by the BABCP Board.

Staff development

The Accreditation Liaison Officer will:
· Conduct a continual review of personal performance, seeking to improve
effectiveness both individually and as a team member.
· Assist in the identification of personal training and development needs in relation to
the Accreditation Liaison Officer's duties and ensure these are fulfilled in line with
the organisation's business objectives.
· Understand and work towards individual, team and business objectives.

General:
The Accreditation Liaison Officer will ensure that health and safety standards are
maintained at all times. Advise the Senior Accreditation Liaison Officer and/or Chair of A&R and/or the Board of Directors of potential risk areas.
