Training & Development

The Memorandum of Association of AFT states:

'The Association's objects are to benefit the public by the promotion by all available means of the scientific study, practice, research and teaching of family therapy…….'

Founded in 1975, one of AFT’s key aims is to promote excellence in training. The CRED committee (the committee for the accreditation and development of family therapy training) sets training standards, operates a system for course accreditation and supports the development of training across the UK. AFT supports the continuing professional development of its members by organising conferences and training events and promoting and encouraging research. AFT ’s Continuing Professional Development Policy lays down the requirements for keeping up to date with current developments in the field and supervision.
