The resource was put together by a working group consisting of Michael Ryan, Jessica K. Doyle, Tara O’Donnell Killen, Kevin Flynn, Lorraine Mooney, Bethan Davies and Gillian Fagan.
The group took into consideration feedback from the various forums, groups and individuals, including IACP EDI Committee, ASIAM Adult Group, D15 Counsellors Group and many more, to develop the guidelines.
In addition, training videos have been developed and are now available within the IACP Online CPD Portal for the IACP members based on these guidelines.
