Lorella Ricci, Co-EditorI have some good news for the beginning of 2006.Our application to join PACFA was addressed at their lastboard meeting. PACFA reviewed all of our documents andthey have accepted our application, albeit with one matteroutstanding.The matter outstanding is that of our EthicalGrievance Procedure. PACFA require some significantchanges to the procedure. The major issues stem fromwhat appears to be a complex relationship between a professionalassociation and a training body. This documentappears to have been written essentially for a traininginstitute and not a professional Counselling Association(PACFA audit, 2005). As the HAA Ethical GrievanceProcedure was developed from the Hakomi InstituteInternationals Ethical Grievance Procedure, it reflectedmuch of the Institutes regulatory structures. Our task isnow to revise the Procedure to reflect the Associations keyrole and the Institutes minor one.We are currently looking to employ a competentperson to take on the project of revision of the EthicalGrievance Procedure.
