what is the BACP?
BACP stands for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. The BACP, established in 1977, is now widely recognised as the voice of counselling in Britain. It seeks to promote and develop the profession by evolving standards for practice and training. Its Codes of Ethics and Practice are widely regarded as the essential guidelines for responsible practitioners. Its Accreditation scheme for professional counsellors is now well established, and employers of counsellors increasingly require BACP Accreditation as a benchmark of competence. CSCT courses are designed with trainees’ likely desire for future BACP Accreditation in mind. CSCT is an organisational member of the BACP, and therefore seeks to abide by its relevant Codes of Ethics and Practice.
