Hi All,
A couple of things for you this week:
Firstly a message from the BPS regarding Accrediation:
###################################
Dear colleagues,
The British Psychological Society would like to hear your views its proposed new way of working with education providers and their students: accreditation through partnership. Our new model of engagement reflects a number of key features that our university partners have told us they
value, and as consumers of psychology education and training we would expect that many of them are important to you too; for example:
*
a clear emphasis on a standards-based approach, focussing on outputs
to protect academic standards and delivery in psychology education and
training;
*
an approach based on partnerships and collaboration between education
providers and the Society, rather than on inspection, to facilitate the
positive and creative development of the discipline; and
*
an approach that focuses on the development of transferable skills to
support the enhanced employability of psychology graduates.
We have launched a consultation to invite feedback on our proposals before
commencing pilot activity in early 2010, and formally launching accreditation through partnership in September 2010. We would very much welcome your response.
For further information, and to respond to the consultation, please go to www.bps.org.uk/partnership<http://www.bps.org.uk/partnership>. The consultation is open until 14 December 2009.
If you have any questions about the consultation, please contact either Lucy Kerry ([log in to unmask]) or Laura Clarke ([log in to unmask]).
Best wishes,
Lucy
