Regulation and governance of the psychological therapies

Abstract

This paper provides a description of statutory regulation as it applies to currently regulated professions and as a model for practitioners of psychological therapies. It discusses the safety drivers for regulation, the issues involved in identifying roles, competences and training as a basis for regulation, and how regulation can promote quality of practice as careers develop in a changing workforce.
