Continue funding Level 7 NHS Apprenticeships -Clinical Associate Psychologists

Petition Details

We are asking the Government to continue providing funding for the L7 Apprenticeship course “Clinical Associate in Psychology”

This is in response to discussions being held within Government regarding plans for the Government to stop/change how some level 7 apprenticeship courses are funded.

Additional Information

CAPs undergo the L7 Masters training and work under the supervision of a fully qualified Psychologist to provide psychological assessments, formulations and interventions.

With increased demand for mental health services, we believe that the training of CAPs has allowed for more people to access the psychological treatment they need.

We believe this loss of funding could be significant for mental health services. We believe that waiting times for treatment could increase, services users may have less access to mental health treatment.
