Motions
Motion 1:

Motion 2:
That BACP takes a lead in encouraging improved access to appropriate therapy for marginalised, highly-challenged parents - those who experience barriers to accessing appropriate counselling. Here the complex interplay between psychological needs and life challenges suggests that a more flexible helping model needs to emerge and be supported.
