4. You must agree to a sustained commitment to the theory and practice of CWP working.

6. You must adhere to the BABCP Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics
7. You must provide at least two hours per week of CWP interventions, including 1:1 CBT-based assessments and interventions for difficulties such as low mood, anxiety, and challenging behaviour, as well as group interventions, information giving and signposting. These must be delivered live (e.g. telephone, video, or face-to-face).
8. Your clinical practice must be primarily supporting children and young people aged 5-18, and 100 % of your caseload should be with age under 26 years. Any work undertaken with adults within the system must be focused on their role as parent, carer or guardian of the child or young person who is primarily being supported.

Please be aware you will need to be in current practice and meeting the above criteria at the point of registration (not just at the point of application).
