Re-instatement of Accreditation
Re-instatement of Accreditation
Re-accreditation is dependent on submission, 5 years after the date of Full Accreditation or Re-accreditation, of an application for Re-accreditation. Re-accreditation is for a period of five years, after which Accredited members will be required to apply for Re-accreditation, every five years
If Accreditation has lapsed, it is necessary to make an application for Re-instatement of Accreditation
Re-instatement of Accreditation is a 2-stage process
Stage 1 is an application for Provisional Re-instatement of Accreditation. This should be made immediately that you are able to provide log books and evidence of at least 12 months of CBT CPD and CBT Clinical Supervision
Stage 2 is an application for Full Re-instatement of Accreditation. This should be made 12 months after Provisional Re-instatement of Accreditation has been awarded
The overall process of Reinstatement of Accreditation is not complete until an application for Full Re-instatement of Accreditation has been made, and granted. If an application for Full Re-instatement of Accreditation is not received, or granted, then the practitioner's status of Accreditation will be revoked, and the individual will be removed from the CBT Register UK
