382: Data security in the BACP Ethical Framework 2026

In Episode 382 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in 'Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore data security in the BACP Ethical Framework 2026 - looking at what the new framework requires, why it matters, and how practitioners can protect client information across their practice. Then in 'Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Alison Letlow about working therapeutically with adult adoptees - exploring adoption as a lifelong experience and the attachment, identity, and loss issues that can arise in therapy. And finally in 'Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss planning ahead for placements - examining timing, mindset, and practical tips for securing a counselling placement, with insights from Sarah Henry.
