I think you are confused.
The UK BCPL(Restricted) has the status of an ICAO PPL but permits the holder, who has not passed any CPL examinations, to be remunerated whilst working solely within a club for the purpose of giving flying instruction to members, or to conduct parachute dropping within a club. The BCPL(R) does not permit any other activities outside of a club and is not ICAO compliant, hence the JAA and EASA do not recognise it.

It was a freebie issued to aeroplane PPL Instructors to get around a change in the law when it became illegal to be remunerated as a PPL holder.
