All of our contact details have changed including telephones and email. Please get the new details here.

New Website Launched
(posted 01/05/08 )
The new website for the Northern School of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy is now live. The previous version of the site was praised for its ease of navigation and clear presentation of information and we have built on that to make the new site even better! The main development has been to make sure the site reflects the distinction between the two major aspects of the work of NSCAP by separating the main areas of content into Training and Commissioning. We hope you can easily find your way to the area that is most relevant to your interests.
