The updated BACP Ethical Framework 2026 comes into effect on 3 November and now explicitly requires members to have a clinical will in place, with an appointed executor. The BABCP did this a couple of years ago, so I’ve had mine in place for a while, with an audit system, ready for you to copy, paste, and use as your own.
Don’t panic A clinical will just set out what should happen to your clients and clinical records if you become seriously unwell, incapacitated or die unexpectedly.
It’s one of those things that’s easy to put off, but it’s an important part of protecting your clients and running a safe, responsible private practice. You can read more here..
There are a couple of ways to make this easier.
I’ve been using My Therapy Suite, which has a really straightforward clinical will feature built into the platform.
