The education provider will take account of the development needs of the existing IAPT workforce as well as those of the future workforce. For the purposes of this tender HEE has identified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner training (the PWP Programme), described in Section 3 of this document, for which tenderers will have the opportunity to bid.
