    We’re extremely disappointed with Sunak’s harmful and inaccurate comments on mental health and work. Read our response to Sunak’s call to end ‘sick note culture’ ➡️ orlo.uk/XBJLx
    “There is clearly a failure to recognise or appreciate the scale of the mental health emergency in the UK and the need for urgent investment in services.” BACP

    We've been shocked and disappointed by some of the media coverage and comments about therapy this week, relating to Prince Harry and the Royal Family. Read our full statement here ➡️ orlo.uk/8lvLs
    "Some comments and coverage have stigmatised and insulted the millions of people in the UK who have genuinely sought support through therapy, and the therapists who provide this much-needed help."

    We’re shocked and disappointed by reported changes to the UK government’s plan to ban conversion therapy in England and Wales. Please find our response here ➡️ orlo.uk/fGWaA
    "A ban that only addresses conversion therapy for sexuality and not gender identity is inadequate. We need to protect all individuals and communities who are at risk of harm from conversion therapy." with the BACP logo.

    We're pleased the Duke and Duchess of Sussex advocate for mental health, but warn against people at “home and feeling bored” during the ongoing #coronavirus crisis doing short online training courses to become a counsellor. Read more at 👉 tinyurl.com/qu8qdsr
