    BAAT Logo Policy
    The British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) is a professional membership body and learned society. BAAT has a logo, which is displayed on its professional publications, official statements, advice packs, professional guidelines and  marketing materials – the BAAT logo is used as a way to certify  that the content of all these documents has been formally agreed by the elected Council of the Association and that it represents a professional consensus. As such, the logo cannot be used by any other organisations to promote events, policies or publications without a written formal agreement from the BAAT Council and/or its Chief Executive Officer (this can be done by email as well as by letter). Permission to use the logo is given on an individual case basis and when use of the logo has been agreed for a purpose, it is not transferable to other projects or products that do not relate to this purpose.

    The London Arts in Health Forum has just launched a national survey to put together an up to date map of arts in health activity in England. This research will also help create a searchable database which will be the central component of a new national website for arts in health. The database will include organisations and individuals which provide arts in health activities and will be a resource for health providers across the country when the website goes live this summer.

    • To tell us what you do and make sure you and your organisation are represented please fill in the survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/cultureandwellbeing. Please contact Damian Hebron Director, London Arts in Health Forum, if you have any queries damian@lahf.org.uk
