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...
OR
...(Social Care Wales (SCW), 2017).
In text (second and subsequent cites):
SCW (2017) states that...
OR
...(SCW, 2017).
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)...
OR
...(Social Care Wales (SCW), 2017, 2.1).
In text (second and subsequent cites):
SCW (2017, 2.1)...
OR
...(SCW, 2017, 2.1).
