PACT Membership: Community of Practice and Fidelity Sessions

Connecting practitioners, sharing experiences and maintaining high standards of PACT practice.

As part of our new PACT Membership, we're creating more opportunities for practitioners to connect, learn from one another and continue developing their PACT practice.

Our Community of Practice (COP) sessions and regular Fidelity Sessions are an important part of this. They provide opportunities to share experiences, discuss challenges, learn from fellow practitioners and maintain the quality and consistency of PACT delivery.

In this article, we'll look at:

  • Community of Practice: What the sessions involve and how you can get involved.
  • Practitioner feedback: What members thought of our first COP session.
  • Upcoming sessions: When the next opportunity to connect will be.
  • Fidelity Sessions: How practitioners maintain their certification and fidelity to the PACT framework.

Community of Practice: Learning together

We launched our first PACT Community of Practice session in November 2026 as part of our new membership offer. We'll be holding these sessions two to three times throughout the year.

COP sessions create a welcoming space for PACT practitioners to share experiences and learn from one another. Facilitated by a PACT trainer or supervisor, they offer an opportunity to connect with other practitioners, ask questions, discuss challenges and reflect on practice.

We want to ensure each session and its agenda reflect our members' needs and interests. Topics may include the latest PACT news and developments, alongside opportunities to share experiences and discuss clinical practice.

We'll suggest an agenda for each session, but we'd also love to hear what you would find most helpful.

We'd particularly encourage practitioners to bring along any questions, case examples or video clips they're happy to share. It's a valuable opportunity to learn from one another and draw on the PACT community's collective experience.

What did practitioners think of our first session?

It's always helpful to hear directly from those taking part. Here's some of the feedback we received following our first COP:

“Thank you for organising today's first PACT Community of Practice session. I really appreciated the opportunity to connect with other practitioners, hear about developments within PACT and reflect on some of the challenges we experience in practice.”

“Thanks for organising and leading the COP session this morning. I found the whole session really useful, and PACT practitioner Emily sharing her clip makes the whole PACT real.”

We're delighted that practitioners found the opportunity to connect, share and learn from one another so valuable.

When is the next COP session?

Our next Community of Practice session has been brought forward and will now take place on:

Thursday 14 January 2027

12:00–1:30 pm

Maintaining standards: PACT Fidelity Sessions

Alongside our Community of Practice sessions, we also run Fidelity Sessions twice a year.

Fidelity is an important part of maintaining the quality and consistency of PACT delivery. Following certification, practitioners are required to attend a Fidelity Session every three years to maintain their fidelity to the PACT protocol and framework.

Facilitated by our PACT trainers, the sessions involve practitioners watching and rating a PACT session, which is provided during the session. This gives practitioners an opportunity to revisit the PACT framework, reflect on their practice and ensure they continue to work in line with the intervention's protocols and standards.

When should I attend a Fidelity Session?

Professionals will receive an automatic reminder when their individual three-year fidelity renewal period is approaching, helping them to plan ahead and book their next session.

To book, simply register using the Fidelity Session link on the PACT website.


Being part of the PACT community

Our membership is about more than maintaining certification. It's about bringing PACT practitioners together, creating opportunities to share knowledge and experiences, and supporting one another to deliver high-quality, consistent and effective PACT practice.

We look forward to welcoming more practitioners to our upcoming Community of Practice and Fidelity Sessions.
