Changes in preparation for Statutory Regulation
--IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MEMBERS DUE TO SUBMIT IN OCTOBER 2008--
As you will be aware, it is expected that Statutory Regulation for psychologists will be introduced in the summer of 2009. The Health Professions Council (HPC) will be the new independent regulator and will be responsible for the monitoring of CPD of registrants.
The Society’s current CPD monitoring processes are therefore being discontinued to avoid overlap with the new regulator. From 30 September 2008 you will no longer be asked to make an annual CPD submission to the Society. If your practising certificate expires in January 2009 this will be renewed in the usual way.
The CPD Online System will be retained as an aid to planning and recording CPD and the Society strongly recommends that members continue to maintain an ongoing reflective record of their CPD. We are looking to launch a new version of the Online System in 2009, if you have any comments or suggestions for potential changes to the system please email them to cpd@bps.org.uk.
We will be writing to you shortly to further explain these changes, in the meantime please contact the CPD Helpline if you have any queries or concerns.
