negatively impacts our Organisation and our staff.
BACP i-eport (British Association for C'ounselling and Psycliotherapy, March 20?4) indicates this is a common
theme across the sector, wid at such times it is great to be a BACP rneniber to leverage best practice sharing and
advocacy for tlie sector.
