Subject: Freedom of Information request - Freedom of Information request - Trainee CBT
Therapist (Recruit to Train) Pilot
Dear Department of Health and Social Care,
I wanted to enquire about the Trainee CBT Therapist - Recruit to Train programme and
had the following questions:
1) What year did the pilot take place, and how long did it last for?
2) When did the evaluation of the pilot begin and how long did it take to complete?
3) How long after the evaluation concluded was the training programme rolled out to
become a permanent entry route for CBT therapists .
Please let me know if you need me to clarify any questions.
Thanks in advance.
Yours faithfully,
April Lewis
