Prepare for the BACP Ethical Framework 2026
From 3 November 2026, BACP members must have a clinical will and an appointed executor, bound by confidentiality, who can contact clients and service users if they become unable to do so themselves or die. Putting these arrangements in place means considering who will contact your clients, how confidential records will be managed and what happens to ongoing counselling, supervision and company referrals. This workbook helps you work through those decisions. The guidance explains what each section needs and why, with practical examples. A clearly separated, editable template then gives you space to record your own instructions, appointments and agreed arrangements. Designed for UK counsellors, psychotherapists and clinical supervisors, it provides a practical starting point for planning an unexpected absence or practice closure. An independent resource from Aspire Counselling Academy. Not approved or endorsed by BACP. Completing the workbook does not, by itself, guarantee compliance or replace individual legal advice.
