College Reports
Reports produced by the Royal College
of Psychiatrists and made available for general distribution fall
into one of three categories:
College Reports (previously known as Council
Reports) constitute official
College policy.
Position state ments are concise
statements of College policy.
Occasional Papers are produced by
Departments or Sections of the College with the aim of providing
information or provoking discussion.
(Please note, since January 2012, the
majority of College reports are no longer produced in print
format.)
Approval process
- Faculties/Sections
are an integral part of the College, and any legal obligation
arising from their publications rests with the College.
- College
Reports, Position Statements and other guidance for
publication need to be sanctioned by the College via the Policy
Committee.
-
Faculty/Section reports for publication and Occasional
Papers need to be sent to the Policy Committee for
information only.
- All
publications will be sent to Council for
information.
