Keeping you informed of the latest news about BAPT

Introducing our new website

Welcome to the new BAPT website!

 

I’m excited to inform you of the launch of BAPT’s new website co-designed by a focus group of BAPT members to make it easier for members and non-members to find information, engage and network with other members and stay up-to-date with events.

​

Please take a few minutes to read about the changes and what BAPT members need to do by 30 April 2024.

What do I need to know?

  • This new website launches in early February 2024. 

  • The new website address is https://www.personality-type.uk/. It is recommended to use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge web browser to view the website. There is a known issue with the Wix website platform and Apple Safari web browsers in which logos and images do not properly load on the website. 

  • The old website will be discontinued from 1 May 2024.

  • The old and new websites will run concurrently for a short transition period from 1 February to 30 April 2024.

  • BAPT members will continue to access their account on the old website until 30 April 2024.

  • BAPT members should go to the old website for registration, payments and information regarding the BAPT Conference 2024.

  • New memberships will be requested on the new website only. We will no longer process membership requests on the old website.

  • New events taking place after 1 February 2024 will be published on this website only.

  • All current BAPT memberships will be due for renewal on 1 October 2024.

    • BAPT members will receive a notification and a payment link before 1 October 2024 reminding them to renew their annual membership.

    • BAPT members who currently pay by standing order can continue to do so. Standing order arrangements are unaffected by the changes.

    • Membership renewals will automatically renew on 1 October 2025. We will process the renewal using the registered debit/credit card or Paypal account. Members can amend their payment method or cancel their membership at any time.

However, glitches happen so if you experience any issues please get in touch with me at digital@bapt.org.uk. We also welcome any feedback or comments about the new website which will help us to improve it. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you at the BAPT conference on  18-20 April.
