Renew Your Membership

To renew your BAMBA membership, simply log in to your BAMBA account and select Manage Account in the top right-hand corner of your profile. Then click Renew Membership.

You will be asked to complete your renewal application and upload the following:

1. Insurance Certificate

A current certificate specifically covering mindfulness teaching.

Alternatively, you may provide a letter from your employer confirming that you are covered under their insurance. If you work for the NHS, your NHS email address serves as evidence of insurance.

If you are teaching outside of the UK, please check the legal requirements in the country where you are working. If insurance is not required in that country, upload a short statement confirming this and confirming that you are not teaching mindfulness in the UK.

Learn more about insurance requirements, insurance essentails for mindfulness practitioners, and discounted insurance cover for BAMBA members.

2. Teaching Log

A summary of your ‘with people’ mindfulness work delivered over the past year. This includes any mindfulness work involving direct contact with people, either face-to-face or online (e.g. training, teaching, or supervising others).

3. Supervisor Statement

An outline of the supervision you have received over the past 12 months. This can include individual, group, or peer supervision.

Peer supervision may count towards up to 50% of your overall supervision requirement.

If you are not actively teaching, one check-in with your supervisor within a 12-month period is sufficient.
