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 statements 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.
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 Central Policy Coordination Committee
(CPCC).
- Faculty/Section reports for
publication and Occasional Papers need to be sent to the
CPCC for information only.
- All publications will
be sent to Council for information.
