1/ Hey all, just a quick update regarding SCoPEd. I’ve received an email from The Professional Standards Authority (PSA) stating that they are at the end stages of the report they are compiling from the open consultation that took place last year.Given this was #TherapistsConnect

2/ due in summer of last year,I’m hoping this means there’s been a thorough examination of all aspects of SCoPEd & its processes over the last few years. As the independent body who oversees the ethics of our overall profession (in that they re-accredit the..) #TherapistsConnect

3/ professional bodies’ registers), I sincerely hope they have heard the concerns of those who feel they are being downgraded and treated unfairly. Getting Professional Standards more involved was my main focus re #SCoPEd (CONT) #TherapistsConnect

4/ over the last few years (and in collaboration with The Psychotherapy and Counselling Union campaign), so I’m looking forward to hearing whatever - as I know other figures here will be. PSA have kindly said they will email me when their outcomes are made #TherapistsConnect
