Scottish Workforce Survey 2025 - Mapping Music Therapy

BAMT recently met the Chief Allied Health Professions Officer in Scotland and it was agreed that it would be helpful to map where Music Therapists are currently practicing in Scotland. This survey seeks to provide information to BAMT regarding the current workforce based throughout Scotland, as part of our work to develop and grow the profession.

There are 15 questions in total. All data collected by this survey will be stored and published anonymously and securely in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and GDPR. As part of this, the anonymous data will be shared with relevant stakeholders across Scotland, BAMT members and the Scottish Music Therapy Trust.

Thank you for taking time to fill out this survey and help us start the process of mapping Music Therapy provision.
