The Psychologists Protection Society is a defence organisation, run for the benefit of members. The main purpose of PPS is to provide members with assistance when complaints are received from clients and other professional protection matters. Our members include trainees and qualified persons working in the talking and listening therapies. Although originally limited to members from the field of psychology, members now include counsellors, psychotherapists, play therapists, art therapists, music therapists, drama therapists and similar related groups.
By joining PPS, a member benefits from a wider range of cover and indemnities than other organisations, by combining a membership contract with insurance policies. Membership provides as standard: Members Professional Protection Insurance (which combined with the PPS Trust provides more than standard professional indemnity policies, such as costs of disputes with professional bodies and defamation), Public Liability Insurance, discretionary Professional Indemnity from our Trust Fund and legal & professional advice and assistance.
Three levels of membership are currently available - Standard Bronze, Top Up Silver and Top Up Gold. Click here to view a comparison table showing the differences between the three levels of membership. Public Liability insurance of £5,000,000, Discretionary Professional Indemnity from our Trust Fund, advice and assistance comes as standard for all three levels, the levels of membership differ only in terms of the level of Members Professional Protection Insurance provided.
