The Care Coordination Association (CCA)

The CCA (formerly the Care Programme Approach Association) was established in 1993 on an informal basis to support the implementation, operation, and development of the Care Programme Approach (CPA). Membership grew considerably, which led to the need for more formal arrangements in 1996 with funding from the Department of Health. Today the CCA is an association of health, social care, third sector, forensic, and academic organisations that come together to support improvements in standards and services for patients/service users, their families and carers across theUK. The Association is endorsed by the Department of Health in their document ‘Modernising the CPA’; and membership is recommended in the CPA Audit pack. The Association is funded through annual subscriptions from member organisations and is a not for profit organisation.

The Purposes of the Association

  • Act as a learned society promoting and supporting professional practice by developing collecting, analysing and disseminating information on the CPA / CTP to its members.
  • Promote and support the delivery of quality mental health and learning disability care.
  • Lend support to all those involved in the operation of the CPA / CTP.
  • Develop and share good professional standards and practice in mental health and learning disability.
  • Seek to influence national policy, strategy and activity, as well as regional and local processes and protocols.
  • Develop and influence the provision of high quality relevant professional training to all.
