Since the APA has been in existence we have sought to provide guidance for our members, and have built up a number of published guidelines over the years.
On transition to this new website in 2025, we have transferred across many of the guidelines from our legacy site. These have been listed for historical reference in recognition that members have used these as sources of information in the past.
As these are historical documents we make no claims as to their accuracy or relevance to practice in 2025 and beyond.
