I wrote to the BACP expressing my disgust over the apology for Stephanie Davies Arias letter. Below is the editors reply. Needless to say does not address any of the issues I raised. Im considering writing back asking what were the concerns and who raised them.

Thank you for your email, to which I am replying on BACP's behalf.
Your views have been noted, and thank you
I can only say that BACP felt the apology and withdrawal of the letter were a necessary and appropriate response to the concerns raised.
With all good wishes
Editor, Therapy Today

I have received an identical response. I am a therapist and am so frustrated they they have failed to address any of the concerns I raised. I’m wondering if I should pursue it further. Colleagues say it’s not worth it / too risky. But I don’t feel I have a choice. . .

That's not a reply, that's a brush off and not acceptable.

I would definitely be writing back asking for clarification.

I really think you should. That's not an answer at all. These people are part of the governance system that is allowing extraordinarily invasive medical experimentation to be carried out on children and young people, there needs to be a better rationale than 'because we said so!'

Jesus.
