The regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors
On 16 February 2011, the coalition government issued a command paper 'Enabling excellence: autonomy and accountability for healthcare workers, social workers and social care workers' (Cm 8008) setting out the government strategy for reforming the system for regulating healthcare workers in the UK and social workers and social care workers in England. It marked a change in direction in the government's approach to regulation.
The following articles explain the current situation. Below, in the regulation archive, you can find details of UKCP's previous work on former government plans for statutory regulation.
