The Ethical Framework for Play, Creative Arts and Filial Therapies, is based upon Play Therapy UK’s version published on October 1st 2002.

within organisations. It is intended to inform the practice of each member of PTUK.
The framework is closely based upon the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework, adapted and extended by
PTUK for the special needs of working with children. In using much of the text of the BACP Ethical Framework PTUK acknowledges BACP’s
