Professional pathways

Become a SpeakOut Counsellor

Explore a structured pathway to training, assessment and professional suitability review. We put safeguarding, appropriate qualifications and responsible practice first.

How the pathway works

Four clear stages.

Each stage builds toward safe, accountable involvement in SpeakOut programmes.

01

Check eligibility

Review professional qualifications, relevant experience and the requirements of the role you intend to pursue.

02

Complete training and assessment

Use the existing MindCheck learning and examination pathway. Existing training records and certificates remain in place.

03

Submit credentials for review

Follow the application and verification instructions. SpeakOut must assess identity, credentials, safeguarding and suitability.

04

Receive role-specific guidance

Only applicants who complete the required review may be considered for an appropriate role. Training completion alone does not authorize practice.
