Thank you for your email, which we note is not private but has also been published on the Guido Fawkes website.

We are able to confirm that BACP has seen the MA certificate that Mr Draper has obtained from the Wright Institute. The status of this degree has been confirmed in writing by their President, Peter Dybwad. It would therefore be helpful if bloggers and journalists who have challenged the possession of these degrees by Mr Draper would publish a correction. We can also confirm that Mr Draper holds a valid MA from the Tavistock Clinic in North London.

On a more general note regarding criminal record (CRB) checks, these are not yet compulsorily required because the professions of counselling and psychotherapy are not, as yet, statutorily regulated, despite a long campaign by BACP to achieve this end. Such regulation appears unlikely to happen before 2012 (although counselling psychologists were statutorily regulated earlier this year). Those
currently working for local authorities are obliged to obtain CRB clearance but under the present system the checks in wider practice are a matter of contract between employers and individuals.

Mr. Draper has assured BACP that he obeys all relevant laws and regulations in relation to his practice, and holds an ongoing certificate of Professional Liability Insurance.
