Ngā māharahara me ngā amuamu Concerns and Complaints

Play Therapists are expected to maintain professional standards as set out in our Code of Ethics. If you are concerned about the behaviour or conduct of one or more play therapist, you may consider making a complaint.


Is the play therapist a proffessional member of ANZAPT? (Check here) Have you raised the concern directly with the play therapist?

Have you raised the concern with their supervisor or their manager?

Have you raised a concern or complaint with the organisation that employs the play therapist?

We recommend that you raise your complaint with the play therapist’s employer first before contacting us. This gives the organisation an opportunity to respond directly to you about your concerns.
