The members and the organisations they represent are:

• Martin Orrell (chair) - Royal College of Psychiatrists
• Nitin Purandare (vice-chair) - Royal College of Psychiatrists
• Esme Moniz-Cook - British Psychological Society, Faculty for Old Age (PSIGE)

• Peter Ashley - Service user advisor
• Jean Tottie - Carer advisor

Royal College of Psychiatrists Special Committee for Personal and Professional Ethics (SCPPE)

The SCPPE is the awarding body of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and all accreditation decisions must be ratified by them before they can be awarded to member services.
