Good practice guidelines.
10 August 2023
This document has been prepared by a working group on behalf of the British Psychological Society's Division of Clinical Psychology (DCP) Faculty for People with Intellectual Disabilities (FPID).
Its key purpose is to guide members of the profession and training providers in ensuring that trainee clinical psychologists, upon qualifying, are able to meet the psychological needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities and their support networks in whatever context or setting they work in.
This guidance was originally published in 2005 and was revised in 2012 (BPS, 2012) to reflect changes in health and social care.
