The chair of 香港六合彩精准资料鈥檚 Private Practice Executive Committee has clarified the view of the committee on SCoPEd.
Lesley Ludlow said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 great that one member of the committee wanted to express their views, but, as stated in the article, they are her own personal views. They are, however, not representative of the committee.聽聽
鈥淲e as a division continue to be supportive of SCoPEd and are committed to working with the 香港六合彩精准资料 team closely聽on the project.
鈥淚 have spoken to Hadyn Williams, 香港六合彩精准资料鈥檚 CEO, and Fiona Ballantine Dykes, 香港六合彩精准资料鈥檚 Chief Professional Standards Officer, and I understand the need for SCoPEd, as does the majority of the committee.
鈥淚t is part of the bigger picture.
鈥溝愀哿喜示甲柿� have acknowledged that SCoPEd is nowhere near complete and is still in consultation, but I am supportive of the project and its intentions and will continue to work with 香港六合彩精准资料 to create a project that is acceptable to our members.鈥�
It follows an open letter regarding the project by Caz Binstead, a member of the committee, with her personal opinion.
香港六合彩精准资料 Board
While individual 香港六合彩精准资料 governors have recently set out their personal opinions on SCoPEd, the Board also continues to be supportive of the project.
Fiona Ballantine Dykes, 香港六合彩精准资料鈥檚 Chief Professional Standards Officer and Chair of the SCoPEd Technical Group, has also responded to the letter.
She said: 鈥淲e鈥檝e tried from the very start of the process to encourage members to share their views on the project, so we thank you for taking the time to do this.
鈥淲e have been consulting with members and will continue to do so: we carried out a full member consultation, we have responded to hundreds of questions, we have spoken at multiple events and have taken part in various discussions (online and in person). Consultation with members will continue. If members support the intention of the project - to get greater recognition for therapists and the opportunity for paid employment for all members in the counselling and psychotherapy workforce by addressing the confusion in the current landscape - then we will continue to listen to and work with our members, and other key stakeholders, throughout this project.
Panel discussion
鈥淚鈥檇 encourage everyone to watch that Hadyn, Andrew (Reeves, 香港六合彩精准资料 Chair) and I took part in recently, when we were grilled on the project by Faisal Mahmood. In that Hadyn explains that the driving force was to ensure that our members are adequately represented as highly-skilled individuals adding determined value into society.
鈥淚f the framework were adopted, we would have to find mechanisms to recognise the skills and experience that current members have gained since first qualifying. Not to do so would be irrational.聽 Any agreed mechanisms (which we would further consult on) would give members the opportunity to demonstrate their experience.鈥�
鈥淚 would also like to reiterate what I said in the panel discussion recently, that the names used to head up each of the columns have not been decided. In the same interview, Andrew Reeves, our Chair, says that they were descriptive terms - a point that was set out in the consultation document.聽 These are being looked at again along with all the other feedback from members.鈥�
