Correct Professional Title for HKIST Registrants<\/h2>\n

In line with the Department of Health\u2019s Accredited Registers (AR) Scheme for Healthcare Professions, the official title designated for our members is “Speech Therapist in Accredited Register” (<\/strong>\u8a8d\u53ef\u540d\u518a\u8a00\u8a9e\u6cbb\u7642\u5e2b<\/strong>)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Child Protection Online Self-Learning Training<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Mandatory Reporting of\u00a0Child\u00a0Abuse\u00a0Ordinance (the Ordinance) was passed in The Legislative Council on 11 July 2024 and published in the Gazette on 19 July 2024. The Ordinance will come into operation on the expiry of 18 months after the day on which it is published in the Gazette (i.e. 20 January 2026). To dovetail with the commencement of the Ordinance, the Government set up an e-learning platform to provide training, reference materials and information for the relevant professionals to facilitate their early identification and reporting of\u00a0child\u00a0abuse\u00a0cases.<\/p>\n

We would like to invite speech therapists to participate in the Child Protection Online Training. The \u201cChild Protection Online Training\u201d is free of charge.\u00a0 The training will be conducted in Cantonese with subtitles of Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and English. Participants who complete the online training will be granted for 1.5 CPD points.<\/p>\n

    The Hong Kong Association of Speech Therapists (HKAST) and Hong Kong Institute of Speech Therapists (HKIST) Joint Statement on Commitment to Ethical Speech Therapy Practice<\/h2>\n

    Speech therapists (STs) are a group of professionals who practice in the areas of communication and swallowing disorders across the lifespan. STs are responsible for the assessment, diagnosis, rehabilitation, and prevention of communication and swallowing disorders resulting from dysfunctions of the oral, laryngeal, resonatory, respiratory, esophageal, or neurological mechanism.<\/p>\n

    At present, STs are not among the healthcare professionals that are subject to statutory registration of the HKSAR Government. Since April 2018, the Government has launched the Pilot Accredited Registers Scheme for Healthcare Professions and granted full accreditation status to the HKIST. STs who voluntarily register with HKIST are to meet stipulated educational standards and to be governed by the Code of Ethics for Speech Therapy in Hong Kong and the Continuing Professional Development Framework. HKAST, on the other hand, strives to promote and strengthen the professionalism among the speech therapists in Hong Kong since early 1980s.<\/p>\n

    HKAST and HKIST jointly reinforce the principles embodied in our Code of Ethics. Ethical speech therapy practice is a cornerstone of our standing as a profession to serve the public. All STs have shared responsibility in ensuring that the Code of Ethics are followed.<\/p>\n

    Statement of the Hong Kong Institute of Speech Therapists on selection of training materials<\/h2>\n

    The Hong Kong Institute of Speech Therapists (HKIST) is aware of the recent publication of a picture book titled \u201cThe Twelve Warriors in Sheep Village\u201d by the General Union of Hong Kong Speech Therapists (GUHKST). The picture book has aroused great public concerns. Members of the Legislative Council also expressed their concerns about the picture book in the Subcommittee to Study the Development of Textbooks and Teaching Materials for Kindergartens, Primary and Secondary Schools of the Legislative Council on 12 January. They pointed out that the content included strong political propaganda and requested the Education Bureau to follow up the issue. The Under Secretary for Education, Dr. Choi Yuk-lin, pointed out at the meeting that the picture book was not suitable for use as teaching materials and urged schools and parents not to use them. She further stated that if schools or speech therapists were found to use the concerned picture book as training materials, the Education Bureau would stop such use immediately and take follow-up actions seriously.<\/p>\n

    In view of this, HKIST urges speech therapists practicing in Hong Kong to refrain from using training materials with political overtones to avoid any possible legal consequences.<\/p>\n

    HKIST is established to ensure that the public could obtain professional speech therapy service from qualified speech therapists. HKIST understands and absolutely respects the diverse views and positions held by individuals on social incidents. However, HKIST reiterates that the main professional responsibility of speech therapists is to provide speech therapy service and support the communication and swallowing needs of clients. During the provision of speech therapy service, speech therapists must observe the Code of Ethics, and provide only professional information within the scope of practice of speech therapy, to prevent any potential public misconceptions about the professional image of speech therapists.<\/p>\n
