Guidance on Remuneration Scales
PTUK Remuneration Guidelines
The following guidelines have been prepared based on a
comparison with professionals working in similar disciplines.
They take also take into account that our
Registrants:
-
Are listed on a Professional Standards Authority Accredited
Register that assures the quality of their work.
-
They meet the higher standards required by Play Therapy UK,
as compared to other professional organisations, for clinical governance that
demonstrates the effectiveness of their work. Their employers will have measured clinical outcomes.
-
Work is audited through an annual revalidation process. PTUK does not rely on declarations and
sampling. All Registrants’ work is
audited. This demonstrates PTUK’s Registrants are meeting the highest standards
that exist.
-
All have had Post Graduate training, in some cases an MA.
-
Hours of clinical practice experience.
-
Are required to have clinical supervision, at least monthly,
to manage risk and improve their practice.
-
Responsibilities include assessments, parent interviews,
review meetings and management reporting as well as their therapeutic work with
the children.
-
Use a wide range of therapeutic media which enable them to
meet more children’s needs compared to other types of therapies and can
effectively treat more children.
Please remember that the rates given below are
guidelines. They are not approved
