Other things to consider

All the courses involve working with children and vulnerable adults. Safeguarding is therefore taken very seriously and the highest standards of behaviour are expected from clinical psychology trainees.

Fitness to practise

Fitness to practise is a requirement of all professions registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC).

• Please see the HCPC website for more information about fitness to practise

During training, monitoring of fitness to practise is the responsibility of course centres.

• Please see the Courses section for any further details from individual course centres about fitness to practise

During the selection process

Concerns about fitness to practise could also be raised during the selection process. This could include:

• the manner and tone of your written and verbal communications with the course centre at any stage of the selection process
• behaviour both during and between interviews for those applicants invited to interview

During selection course centres may take note of issues that could significantly impair an applicant's capacity to practise in an open and reflective manner. This could include:

• your openness to feedback about any relevant concerns
• you showing appropriate self-awareness in relation to difficulties that impact on your capacity to work
• your willingness to work collaboratively with relevant staff to address (and hopefully to overcome) any issues
