NRSPN accreditation is open to all suitably qualified and competent non-religious practitioners who share the values of the network. All practitioners must show a commitment to our mutual objective in achieving equality of access for the non-religious to pastoral support from like-minded non-religious individuals.

How do you become an accredited by the NRPSN?

The NRPSN accredits practitioners to work in various institutions, including healthcare, prisons and the military. Our accreditation is maintained by a thorough recruitment process and assessment of the competencies required to do this work to an exceptionally high standard. The training itself has been designed by sector experts, and is frequently updated with best practice through our engagement nationally and internationally with sector leaders. Further training will be required and this will be given by the institution where the NRPSN carer volunteers.

Our practitioners come from all walks of life but they share a number of common qualities; a personable disposition, a non-judgmental attitude, a keen commitment to helping others, patience, and a strenuous ethic of professionalism. 

Accreditation can be gained by attending one of our induction weekends. To find out more, please visit the vacancies page for information on upcoming training weekends and details of how to apply.
