The aspiration for this event is to start a dialogue with programme leaders, tutors, and educational institutions which can inform future diversity and inclusion standards and competences within the industry and practice, with an initial focus on race and ethnicity.

This has been a collaborative and cross-industry effort, with multiple organisations (including PCSR) invested in making real and positive change in Counselling and Psychotherapy training. The event includes an expert panel line-up, and is chaired by Kadra Abdinasir, Head of Children and Young People’s Mental Health at the Centre for Mental Health.

What does good practice look like? Sharing models of good practice of diversity and inclusion in training
What resources and support are needed to ensure training is inclusive and that diversity and inclusion is fully embedded into training?
How do we bring about system level change across the training field?
