More than 30,000 BACP members currently work in private practice in some capacity. In partnership with the Private Practice division, we've compiled this toolkit of resources to support you with all aspects of setting up, managing, developing and working in a private practice.
We brought forward the launch of this toolkit to support members during the current crisis. We're producing additional content and will be updating the resources regularly to ensure the information is current and relevant to your business.
Using the resources
Most of these resources are free access for all members, but:
- a few of the new resources are open to Private Practice division members only
- to read articles from Private Practice journal you'll need to be a member of the Private Practice division or sign up for a free online journal subscription
- to access the CPD resources, you'll need to subscribe to our CPD hub. This costs £25 a year and is in addition to your standard membership fees. This has now moved to our Learning centre.
