OUR MISSION

What is the Commission's main role?

The mission of the Commission of Psychologists is to protect the public who call on the services of a psychologist, while ensuring the integrity of the profession and the quality of the services provided by psychologists.

To accomplish this mission, the Commission undertakes to :

  • Protecting the title of psychologist: by ensuring that only those with the requisite qualifications can use it. To this end, the Commission has set up a rigorous registration procedure and maintains an up-to-date list of persons authorized to use the title of psychologist.
  • Ensuring that the Code of Deontology is applied and respected: by rallying the profession around a Code of Ethics, which sets out the fundamental ethical standards for responsible professional practice.
  • Offer disciplinary and mediation procedures: ensuring compliance with the code of ethics and promoting ethical practice through effective disciplinary and mediation mechanisms.
  • ​Serve as a key point of contact for authorities, psychologists, clients/patients and the general public on all issues relating to the profession, ethics and the title of psychologist.
Our values

The core values that guide our work

Five fundamental values guide our work at the Commission of Psychologists, to ensure that our mission of protecting the title of psychologist and the general public is carried out as effectively as possible.

Integrity

We aim to promote trust in psychologists in an ethically correct, respectful and impartial manner.

Compsy icon

Focus on quality

We aim to be professional and committed. Timely assessments and adherence to our working methods are fully in line with this value.

Care for the user

We are keen to establish a dialogue with psychologists and customers alike. That's why, in future, we intend to survey our user groups and inform them about everything we do.

Sense of responsibility

We act as an independent body with a supervisory role. Our aim is not so much to police the psychologists as to protect the trust enjoyed by our professional group. We have been given this responsibility by law.

Looking ahead

We're looking for ways to improve our service. The new website and the database it contains are a first step in this process.
