The BPS operates a range of practitioner registers, however, only the Wider Psychological Workforce Register (WPW) is currently part of the Accredited Registers Programme. The WPW Register includes people who work in psychological practitioner roles and associate psychologist roles.
The BPS have submitted a Notification of Change for inclusion of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner (MHWP) role on the WPW Register. This role is designed to address the growing need for mental health services to provide a structured pathway for professionals specialising in mental health. Please see our summary for more information.
We are seeking feedback to help our assessment of how the BPS' introduction of this role could impact on their ability to comply with our Standards.
The deadline for sharing feedback with us is 25 July 2025. You can share your experiencing using our webform.
