Aims and Objectives
Complementary Therapists have been around for centuries and never before have they been more in demand than today. Stress and chemical abuse etc., are taking their toll on society and sufferers are turning to Complementary Therapies in an effort to find relief and cure. We need to make sure that the people who require our help first of all know that we exist, then know how to find us. They need to know that they are in safe hands and that the therapist has been trained suitably for their profession. The aim of ICBTI is to regulate it’s members so that the Client knows he/she is consulting a trained and regulated Therapist. They should be comfortable that they are protected in similar ways to Medical Health Service in that the practitioners are suitably insured, qualified and that the premises from which they work is a safe environment for treatment.
ICBTI offer the potential client unbiased information and advice about the therapies and therapists available through our Regulated Membership. Clients should be aware that should they have any complaints or grievances about the level of professionalism and care that they receive, it can be reported to the ICBTI. We have systems in place to deal with these issues and many others that may arise.
Our aims are also to provide training to potential and existing Therapists that comply with the requirements of the BCMA (British Complementary Medicine Association). Thus insuring the quality of future Therapists and Trainers.
ICBTI have Associate membership with the BCMA (www.bcma.co.uk)
