Proper Public Protection and Psychological Services

Getting to where we have arrived has been a long and complex process. The Society started work on gaining statutory regulation back in the early 1980s. There have been many individuals involved, both members and staff, to whom I must extend an enormous thank you. This includes those, both members and lay people, who have been involved in our own investigatory and disciplinary processes over many years and who have helped us to achieve the standards we have. It also includes those who have contributed to training, research and applied psychology.

The Society's role now in terms of regulation is to work with the HPC to ensure that it is a success. Alongside this we shall be developing the new learned and professional body that members want and our new Strategic Plan for the next five years has now been agreed.
