Abstract

There are two elements of wording in the current occupational standard that pose potential barriers to employer uptake of CAPs in their workforce, and one of which also does not hold any clearly defined meaning (and therefore, arguably, benefit) through its inclusion. This paper outlines the case for removing the wording about “overall responsibility” for CAP practice, along with aligning the supervision frequency to the BPS registration standards (and clarifying who may provide this supervision) and lobbying for a minor change in wording to BPS registration information. It is proposed that these changes will support the trailblazer in promoting CAPs to the wider workforce through making it easier for employers to conceptualise the level of support required.
