Human Givens Institute
Visit website: http://www.hgi.org.uk/
The Human Givens Institute is a global organisation concerned with unifying the most effective forms of counselling and psychotherapy into a truly biopsychosocial approach. It advances all aspects of Human Givens therapeutic practice, including standards, continued professional development and the ethical behaviour of members.
Six Accredited Registers of counsellors and psychotherapists, including the HGI, have notified us of their adoption of the 'SCoPEd framework', for assessment against the Standards for Accredited Registers. Please Share Your Experience of the registers and SCoPEd by emailing us at scoped-sye@professionalstandards.org.uk by 17 May 2024.
In November 2023 we completed our Standard One and full renewal assessments of the HGI's register.
You can read our decision as well as our Impact Assessment.
When we renewed the HGI's accreditation, we issued the following Conditions with deadlines for implementation. We will update the status of the Conditions in due course.
