Our work in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
We have forums representing Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. They support members and promote art therapy in a way that meets each nation’s specific context. Forums are run by our members, under the oversight of our Council and with support from our staff team.
BAAT Cymru / Wales
BAAT Wales provides a member-led forum for the association to engage and support members in Wales to ensure we understand the Welsh context and legislative frameworks. It also supports our public affairs work, working closely with the Wales Arts Therapies Advisory Forum (WATAF), which also covers drama, music, and dance and movement therapy.
