Investigation: The IAPC will then conduct a thorough investigation of the complaint. This may involve reviewing any relevant documents, interviewing witnesses or the accused member, and gathering any other relevant information and bringing in third parties to evaluate any alleged wrongdoing if the complaint violates UK law or presents safeguarding issues. 4. Determination of Action: Based on the investigation, the IAPCP will determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to the complaint.

Appeals: If the complainant is not satisfied with the IAPCP response, they will be given the opportunity to appeal the decision.

A great question, complementary practices are self-regulated in most parts of the world. Anyone can set themselves up as trainers or associations. The IAPCP was set up to bring credibility to the Complementary domain, the co-founders and the alliances they work with all have experience, are regarded as leading trainers, and have authority to determine what is quality and what isn’t. The accrediting process is rigorous and thorough, if an Institute has passed the accrediting process, it is because they are worthy of training with. We always recommend anyone registering for any course satisfies themselves that the training they are enrolling in is fit for their needs. Buyers regret because of a lack of diligence is not a reason to feel the training is not of a high standard. Check websites, look at testimonials and talk with the trainers they will all be willing to discuss their trainings with you to ensure you are making a good choice.

This is a very common question regularly asked especially by new students of complementary practice. The simple answer to a simple question is that the answer is complicated. And it depends upon the complementary practice and the region in which you reside and decide to operate from. Different parts of the world have different rules and different regulations depending upon the discipline. A general rule of thumb is if a complementary practice is regarded as being a medicine. the regulations are normally more stringent. In the ResourceHUB you will find information and links so you can verify the status of the complimentary practice you are interested in and the region you come from. We can only point you in the direction of the legislation we cannot advise and give a definitive legal ruling. It is for the complementary practitioner to satisfy themselves that the training they've undergone for the complementary modality they are studying for the region they live in, is in alignment with the laws and legislation of the country they operate in.

REASON 1 - You have already successfully signed up in which case use the link "Already signed up - LOG IN HERE" enter the email and password you signed up with. REASON 2 - Because of the increased frequency of hacking, trolls, and cyber attacks, our system uses a CAPTCHA to monitor and safeguard its integrity.

Use of an outdated browser. Use of a browser from a region associated with hacking. High traffic on our website at that time. Resolution: Wait and Try Again Later: If you receive a CAPTCHA error, please follow the system's recommendation and try again later. This allows the system to reset and reevaluate your request. Check Your Information: Before trying again, ensure the accuracy of the information you've provided, including your email address. Browser Compatibility: Use an up-to-date browser, as older ones may encounter issues with our CAPTCHA system.
