Thoughts from Dr Rebecca Crane 

How can a member of the general public wanting to take an 8-week mindfulness-based be reassured that what is being offered has depth and integrity? The UK Network for Mindfulness-based Teacher Training Organisations recently launched a listed a listing of mindfulness-based teachers. In the emerging professional context for mindfulness in the mainstream, this is an international first. The listing goes beyond current self-report arrangements for teachers to publicise their credentials by requiring independent verification of the application by a referee from the UK Network. So far 150 teachers have been listed. It is likely to become the ‘go to’ place in the UK for anyone wishing to find an appropriately qualified mindfulness-based 8-week course teacher.
