This is a HUGE step forward for consumers of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)!
The Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care has accredited the UK Society for Behaviour Analysis’ (UK-SBA) Register. The Authority is a serious independent statutory body, accountable to Parliament.
Registration with an Accredited Register gives employers and patients, service users and the public confidence that practitioners have signed up to robust professional and ethical codes. All Registers accredited by the Authority must have transparent complaints processes, so poor performance can be addressed. Where serious wrongdoing occurs, the practitioner will be removed from the Register. The Authority always recommends that people choose practitioners who are on an Accredited Register.
Practitioners on the UK-SBA’s Accredited Register will now be able to display the Accredited Registers Quality Mark, a clear sign that they meet the Professional Standards Authority’s standards.
