Summary

In this week's special edition podcast, Rory Lees-Oakes speaks with Heather Price of the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) on the exciting introduction of a new level 5 qualification - Counselling Children and Young People (11-18). The details of this new specialised CPCAB qualification that are discussed include: This specific training is necessary to work with young people, especially due to tricky areas such as confidentiality and consent. Before being able to take this course, a good grounding is needed beforehand. As it is a level 5 qualification, you will already be a qualified counseller before choosing to specialise - it requires knowledge, skills and training. It includes 20 hours of personal therapy as working with other people's childhoods may trigger something from your own. It is a regulated qualification. It is in partnership with the Open University. It includes 120 flexible guided learning hours which will take one year to complete.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Counseling Tutor Podcast.
0:04.4	The must listen to podcast for students of counseling and psychotherapy.
0:10.7	Here are your hosts, Rory Lee's Oaks and Ken Kelly.
0:16.9	Hello and welcome to this special edition of the counselling tutor podcast.
0:21.5	I'm Rory and my co-presenter Ken is taking a well-earned break over the UK half-term academic holiday.
0:28.6	However, I'm joined by Heather Price, senior counselling professional at CPCAB, who is bringing us some breaking news.
0:38.5	So welcome, Heather.
0:45.4	Thank you. Thank you, Rory. Yeah, really exciting news that we're very pleased to let everybody know that we have at last launched our new working with children,
0:51.2	counselling children and young people, level five qualification.
0:55.4	It's been in the making for the last two or three years, and at last, we've got it out there.
1:00.6	Oh, that's just so exciting. And, you know, both, you and myself have both taught.
1:06.8	And one of the things that comes up through the years is that we get a lot of people wanting to work with children and they want to do it during first trainings.
1:17.0	Why is it important that someone who's thinking of working with children and adolescents have specific training?
1:25.6	Well, we think it needs time to develop that probably the best way to approach is for students to have a good grounding in a counselling qualification first and then to think about how they might want to specialise.
1:42.3	So it fits very well with our other level fives like the CBT.
1:46.9	So people have done their level four. They want to specialize. They might want to work with
1:51.7	children and young people because that's where they've had an interest. They might have done a bit of
1:56.7	work with children and young people on their level four and then wanted to develop that.
2:03.1	And it's very important that they get a qualification because working with children and young
2:09.7	people is quite specialised and can be quite tricky, thinking of things like confidentiality, consent, all those sorts of areas,
2:21.4	which are a little bit different perhaps than the usual counselling training, and people
2:26.6	do need to have that knowledge, those skills and that specialist training.
