We will soon be providing a blog on book reviews. If you have a book you would like reviewed, please shoot us an email and send a copy. We will link it with an appropriate reviewer. If you want to be a reviewer please get in touch with your area of expertise, and we will add your name and address to the database.
Mark Cresswell President CPCA
Dear Members,
Urgent Action required:
As you can see, despite our request to be engaged in the consultation phase, the CPCA was not consulted. It appears there is a concerted effort to create a peak body and to disenfranchise people who are not members of that body. Further, there is a clear push to make registration compulsory and thus to remove the rights of counsellors who qualify by virtue of diploma and practice.
It is essential, if you wish to retain your freedom to choose and to practise, that you take action:
Read and understand the draft national standards.
Sign the petition to Protect and Uphold the Role of Vocationally Trained Counsellors in the National Standards.
After reading the Draft National Standards, please look at the questions that were included in the survey at the beginning of the draft and answer them on a word document.
Afterwards please send through to the following email addresses with the subject heading: Draft National Standards for Counsellors.
