The International Declaration on Core Competences in Professional Psychology has established a robust foundation for defining essential competences in the field, and thereby also provided a unifying framework for the profession worldwide. Yet, as psychological practice evolves, so do the competences required from psychologists. Emerging trends - such as the increasing digitalization of services, the growing emphasis on the quality of professional practice through developing others by means such as supervision, and the ever-expanding recognition of the importance of underpinning professional practice with continuing cultural competence -
highlight critical areas requiring further attention. This panel focuses on a Supplement that expands the IPCP Declaration with three new competences: (1) Digitally and technologically mediated psychological practice, (2) Supporting the development of others in the working context and (3) Multicultural competence. These competences reflect the profession's response to transformative changes in both the context within which psychologists practice and how psychologists deliver services. It will also discuss a Toolkit that is being created to offer concrete guidelines for applying the Declaration across diverse contexts. The Toolkit is still work in progress, and will contain guidance for educators, practitioners, regulators, policymakers, and the public. Among other goals, the Toolkit is being designed to support curriculum development and accreditation processes; professional development and mobility; licensing and regulation; service provision and quality of care. Panelists will present the Supplement, covering the rationale and development process behind it, and highlight how the Toolkit can transform the Declaration into an actionable resource, helping psychology to advance as a coherent, evidence-based, and globally connected profession.
