UK Register of Spiritual Caregivers
~ About ~

February 2021 — Launching this year

The UK Register of Spiritual Caregivers™ seeks to serve the increasing number of people who identify themselves as spiritual but not religious.

We are a voluntary register and membership is a mark of a caregiver’s commitment to the highest standards of care, compassion and wellbeing. Our approach is holistic and person-centred.

When you use the services of a spiritual caregiver you need to be reassured that those in this role are competent, kind and trustworthy. If you choose someone from this Register you can be confident that they have appropriate insurance, training and caring skills.

Background

The UK Register of Spiritual Caregivers  is a new initiative started January 2021.

Its foundation is in the 400-hour training of the Diploma in Practical Spirituality and Wellness (Ofqual Register: CI Level 3 Qual No: 601/8673/2 Sector Subject Area: Health and Social Care.) This qualification was developed by the Spiritual Companions Trust, which also administers the Register and maintains the Code of Conduct and the Spiritual Companions Guidelines.

The Register also recognise qualifications from other caring sectors including counselling, psychotherapy, nursing, medicine and spiritual healing; where necessary we supplement these with our own induction courses.
