Members who are concerned about the continued use of the title sport or exercise psychologist by non HPC registered service providers will be interested in the following from Stephen Smith:
I am an HPC investigative Panel member and I am pushing the HPC to expedite action against non registered "psychologists" acting in this field
Members can raise complaints directly with HPC. However some feel reluctant due to a number of reasons including reprisal
As such I am happy to act as an intermediary and take those complaints into the file I am collating to present to the HPC. Basically the more evidence that I can collate that this is a real issue the more likely it is we can generate some action in the HPC
However members must realize I can only act as an intermediary and sharing with me is NOT the same as tasking a complaint formally to the HPC as I am acting on this matter in a personal capacity only and not formally on behalf of the HPC
Best wishes
