Psychiatry: Children
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has had discussions with charities on the potential merits of protecting the title Child Psychotherapist.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Titles can only be protected for statutorily regulated professions. The title of ’child psychotherapist’ is not currently protected in law in the United Kingdom and the Government has no plans to regulate child psychotherapists. No discussions have taken place with charities on protecting the title of ‘child psychotherapist’.
