How do I reference the Code of Professional Practice (CoPP) in APA (7th ed.)?

Answer

In text (first cite):
Social Care Wales (SCW, 2017) states that.

. (Social Care Wales (SCW), 2017).

In text (second and subsequent cites):
SCW (2017) states that.

If you are referring to a specific section of the code you will need to include the section number, for example:

In text (first cite):
Social Care Wales (SCW, 2017, 2.1).

. (Social Care Wales (SCW), 2017, 2.1).

In text (second and subsequent cites):
SCW (2017, 2.1).

In the reference list:

Social Care Wales. (2017). Code of professional practice for social care.
