Safeguarding
The BPC has a key role to ensure the public are protected when they are engaged in therapy with our Registrants. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults.
Our guidance to our Registrants on safeguarding is currently being updated and will be available in due course.
The purpose of this guidance is to set a clear framework for clinicians in relation to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk.
This policy provides a suggested protocol to help Registrants identify vulnerable children and adults and take appropriate action in response to safeguarding them. It is intended for all Member Institutions (MIs) and all Registrants that are listed on the BPC Register. It is particularly applicable to Registrants working in independent private practice.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults.
