Accreditation

Accreditation for Evidence Based Parent Training (EBPT) Practitioners

EBPT practitioners have core clinical skills and theoretical knowledge with a specialism in parenting training interventions for behavioural difficulties including conduct disorder for three to ten year olds. They work with both children and their parents using NICE recommended evidence based individual and group approaches.

Evidence based parent training interventions are based on cognitive social learning theory and also draw on attachment theory, the parent-child relationship and parenting styles. Training in assessing and understanding behavioural difficulties in children, involving parents/carers in interventions, evidence-based parent group techniques and evidence-based individual parent training methods is supported by the CYP IAPT (Children and Young Peoples Improving Access to Psychological Therapy) programme.

Stages of EBPT Accreditation

We are pleased to announce that we have now launched our accreditation for EBPT practitioners.

To be eligible for accreditation, you must have completed a BABCP accredited CYP IAPT Parent Training For Conduct Disorder course. This means you will have met all the EBPT Minimum Training Standards required for Accreditation with BABCP.

Provisional EBPT Accreditation - This is the first Stage. Provisional accreditation lasts for 12-24 months.

Full EBPT Accreditation - Is the second stage. You should apply 12-24 months after receiving your Provisional award.

EBPT Reaccreditation - One year after receiving your Full EBPT Accreditation, you will need to submit a Declaration of Reaccreditation. You will be asked to make this declaration each year on the anniversary of your Full EBPT award. This is supported with an audit.

Some of the documents you will submit with your application require signatures from you or other people. We are in the process of updating our documents to incorporate electronic signatures. In the meantime, here is some guidance on how to validate a document or provide proof of identity if signatures aren't possible.

Signature Guidance

This must be completed by your current EBPT clinical supervisor. This document should be completed and signed within one month prior to your application submission.

CPD and Reflective Statements

You are expected to give evidence of five EBPT CPD activities per year, drawn from across the range of learning and development activities. These will have been completed in the 12-24 months since you were awarded Provisional Accreditation. One of these may be a non-EBPT specific activity provided that you can justify on your Reflective Statement how it is appropriate to your practice.

Within these five activities, you are required to include at least six hours of EBPT skills workshop(s) per year and complete a Reflective Statement for each of these. This can be one workshop of six hours, or a number of shorter ones that total six hours, e.g. 2 x three hour workshops. Please consult the guidance of suitable CPD Activities below.

Acceptable CPD Activities

Reflective Statements are best completed soon after undertaking each activity. You need to complete a minimum of five a year, so if you apply for Full EBPT Accreditation 24 months after you were awarded Provisional, you will need to submit 10 reflective statements. Please consult the guidance and use the form below.
