Categories of Membership
Full Members
Members who have successfully completed a training course at an ACP Approved Training school and who are working as a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist. Full Members provide a yearly return detailing relevant Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities which must be duly authorised by an ACP approved supervisor to confirm that they are fit to practise.
Honoured Members
Members of distinction who have contributed to the ACP and the advancement of child and adolescent psychotherapy have become Honoured Members at the invitation of the Association. Honoured Full Members who continue to practise must also provide a yearly CPD return.
Not Working Members
Qualified members of the Association who have retired from all clinical and non-clinical practice or who are not currently working for personal reasons (e.g. parental leave).
Overseas Members
Members of the Association who have qualified from an ACP-UK Approved training school but who reside and work overseas. It is expected that they will organise their own CPD activities in the country in which they practise and they are not eligible to be included in the 'Find a Child Psychotherapist' directory.
Trainee Members
Trainee Members are registered with an ACP accredited training school as well as with the ACP, and carry out clinical work in the NHS or 3rd sector, but not in private practice. They work under the supervision of a senior Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, who also carries clinical responsibility for their work. A full description of the training can be found here.
Professional Standards Authority accreditation and use of the quality mark only applies to registrants practising within the UK.
