We are interested in widening the access to psychology so that we can become a more diverse and inclusive profession, reflective of our communities and wider workforce.

They are trained to provide effective evidence based care to National and local guidelines and will manage a caseload and take responsibility for proactive care delivery decisions, within their scope of practice and under the supervision of a clinical psychologist. They will be trained to plan, assess, implement and evaluate programmes of care. CAPs are expected to maintain a compassionate, caring and safe care environment
