About the CPAA

The Care Programme Approach Association (CPAA) has been established to support the implementation, operation, and development of the Care Programme Approach. The Association has been in operation on an informal basis since 1993, giving support to people involved in implementing the CPA, particularly CPA Coordinators and Managers. Membership grew considerably, which led to the need for more formal arrangements in 1996. The Association is endorsed by the Department of Health in their document ‘Modernising the CPA’, and membership is recommended in the CPA Audit pack.

After the success of the first ever CPAA Awards last year, the CPAA invites entries for 2007.

If your organisation / department is successful the award will include:-
1. A certificate
2. A feature in the CPAA's journal 'The Approach'
3. A formal letter from the Chair of the CPAA to
your Chief Executive, Chair or Director, along
with a copy of the certificate.

In order to enter for an award, you must be a fully paid up member of the CPA Association.

All entries must be submitted along with an application form to the CPA Association by 31st May 2007.

As part of our 10 anniversary celebrations we are featuring some of the early work of the CPAA Association.
Linked below are copies of the first CPAA The Approach cover dating back to April 1997

Also for nostalgias sake, is an article from that edition outlining the history as it was then, of the CPAA
