BASES and AAASP Reach Collaboration Agreement BASES and the Association for the Advancement of Applied Sport Psychology (AAASP) have developed a Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC) aimed to enhance the developing alliance between the two associations. AAASP specialises in promoting research and consulting excellence in applied sport, exercise and health psychology. AAASP and BASES share a common goal of ensuring that all athletes, coaches and those in the community that participate in sport and exercise benefit from the highest quality provision of psychological services. Building on cooperation in the area of sport and exercise psychology over several years, BASES and AAASP have recently developed a reciprocity agreement, which recognises the equivalence of BASES Accreditation and AAASP Certification. Furthermore, BASES and AAASP will collaborate on joint continuous professional development opportunities and will develop enhanced benefits for members of both associations through economies of scale. New accreditation system for exercise science practitioners BASES is developing a new accreditation category to add to its existing peer-reviewed sport & exercise scientist accreditation programme. This new category of Accredited Exercise Science Practitioner aims to provide the recognised standard for exercise scientists working in areas of outpatient rehabilitation, exercise referrals and physical activity advisory services. It is aimed at the individual who possesses a sport and exercise science degree, and has also demonstrated practice experience and attained relevant practical or vocational standards. It aims to assist health and leisure service (public or private) providers who want to employ a person with this background but where currently there is no identified common standard. The accreditation process is about demonstrating the ability to integrate knowledge, experience and practice/vocational skills into one recognised qualification. Within this the Practitioner can demonstrate a speciality (e.g., cardiac rehabilitation) but also needs skills and knowledge to at least advise or direct clients with needs outside his/her speciality (similar to a GP in medicine). The accreditation is aimed to integrate such vocational standards as those developed by Skills Active and Skills for Health. This initiative is being led by Dr John Buckley. CCPR launches challenge to Government The CCPR has launched the ‘Challenge’ and ‘Physical Education Declaration’. The Challenge calls upon the next government to place sport and recreation higher on the political agenda and seeks a genuine commitment for more sustained support and financial investment in the UK’s sports system. The Physical Education Declaration, issued by the National Physical Education Summit on 24 January, calls on the Government and key delivery agencies to invest more time for initial teacher training and professional development, and to review the nature of training to meet 21st Century needs. ■ www.ccpr.org.uk 6 Issue 3 March 2005 The Sport and Exercise Scientist www.bases.org.uk
BASES are relocating to Leeds Metropolitan University In May 2005 BASES will be moving its Head Office to the Headingley Campus at Leeds Metropolitan University. Prof Craig Mahoney, Chair of BASES, said, “I am delighted that we have been able to relocate the BASES Head Office onto the campus of Leeds Metropolitan University. The potential this offers us in the development of the Association, the links with Higher Education, sport and associated agencies will undoubtedly be of long term benefit to both BASES and the University. I think the desire to stay in Leeds, where we are known, respected and have good contact support, was key in making this move. The environmental conditions and support structures of the University will also add to the further development of the Association in this time of change and restructuring.” Prof Carlton Cooke, Associate Dean and Head of the School of Sport, Exercise and Physical Education, added, "We are delighted to welcome BASES onto our Headingley Campus at Leeds Metropolitan University. The offices will be located in Fairfax Hall, which is also the home of the Schools of Sport, Exercise and Physical Education and Leisure and Sport Management, part of the Carnegie Faculty of Sport and Education. Staff of the school of Sport, Exercise and Physical Education work across the whole range of sport and exercise contexts that relate to the work of BASES and we look forward to providing an appropriate environment that will support BASES as it continues to develop and grow."
