Audit statement 2011
*We anticipate that the audit review process will conclude before the end of December*
To maintain the integrity of our register and high standards of regulation, UKCP undertakes annual random audits of registered individual members.
The following is a brief list of requirements for audit returns.
For more detailed information, examples of documentation, and further guidance, please review the Audit Guidance Notes and the Audit FAQ.
Those selected for audit will be asked to provide evidence of the following documents, approved and signed off by the Chair or Chief Executive of their UKCP organisational member (for individual members belonging to a UKCP organisation) or Chair of their UKCP college (for direct members):
Certificates of Qualification as a Psychotherapist
Please submit all relevant qualifying certificates, for example degree certificates, diplomas etc.
The evidence required is what you would have provided to your organisation initially for acceptance as a UKCP member. This evidence was reviewed by your organisation when you registered, but has not been reviewed by UKCP.
If you do not have certificates of qualification, you must send in all relevant evidence of registration or accreditation with your organisation. Please see the Audit Guidance Notes for further details and requirements.
You do not need to send your UKCP certificate.
Continuing Professional Development during the last 12 months
Please submit documents, statements or other evidence of CPD presented in the format required by your organisation or college for re-accreditation.
Supervision during the last 12 months
Please provide evidence of supervision during the last 12 months. What you provide must allow our auditor to see the type and quality of your supervision as well as other details listed in the Audit Guidance Notes.
Certificate of professional indemnity insurance
Please provide evidence of current professional indemnity insurance. Their certificate must cover you for the audit period - that is from April 2010 through to when the documents are submitted. This may mean submitting two certificates. We can accept certified copies.
All information and documentation supplied for the audit must be signed off by the Chair of your UKCP organisation or college before it is sent to our Quality Assurance and Regulation team.
This signature or statement from your Chair is to verify that you meet requirements for membership with your organisation or college.
The UKCP auditor will examine the documents presented and will notify those selected of the outcome.
Please email for any additional queries not answered in the online Audit Statement above, the Audit FAQ or the Audit Guidance Notes.
