Are you a member yet? Membership is open to all and is the first step towards accreditation.
Our application processing time is typically up to 12 weeks. If we have not received all the necessary information and payment, this may cause delays. Please be assured we will get in touch should we require any further information to complete your application.
Please avoid requesting updates regarding your application before this time frame.
Once an application has been submitted our dedicated admin team will make initial checks on the application to ensure all fields are complete. These checks also include that appropriate evidence of the qualification has been uploaded, a supervisor report has been received for the applicant and payment has been made. If any problems are identified, the admin team will then liaise with the applicant and/or supervisor to resolve these.
Here are some of the common problems we encounter:
Addressing any of the above or other problems with an application can delay the processing time and completion of registration.
Once an application has been reviewed by the admin team and any problems have been resolved this is then passed to a Wellbeing Liaison officer (WLO) or Accreditation Liaison officer (ALO).
The WLO/ALO will then review the application, the qualification and the supervisors report to ensure the criteria for registration are met. If there are any concerns or queries regards the content of an application at this stage the WLO/ALO will then take any necessary steps to resolve these and liaise with the applicant and other relevant parties as needed.
If the criteria are met, then the registration process is then completed and the applicant will be placed on the Wellbeing Practitioner section of the CBT register UK and Ireland. Applicants receive a confirmation of registration email immediately after they are placed on the register and their formal digital welcome letter up to 2 weeks after.
Your application will be unsuccessful if you don't meet the criteria, or if you don't give a satisfactory response to a request for further information within the timeframe outlined in correspondence. We will withdraw your application from the registration process and give you feedback to help with any future application submissions.
Please be aware the registration fee is non refundable, as per our Wellbeing Practitioner Registration & Membership Policy.
If you do not agree with our decision, you may appeal within 28 days of the date we sent you the outcome of the application. If you wish to appeal, please email wellbeing@babcp.com. In the first instance, the decision will be reviewed by the Accreditation Liaison Manager and/or the Chief Accreditation Officer who is the Registrar, and may be referred to the Practitioner Accreditation Committee.
