Person-Centred Supervision Training - Freedom and Form

Designed at post-qualification certificate level, this training course offers you a supportive environment in which to develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary to build or refresh a supervisory practice with emphases on growth, inclusion, collaborative working and ethical awareness. 

Course Structure: 
The course consists of 62 contact hours and will take place over 5 weekends (Saturday and Sunday) from 9.30am-4 30pm each day with the first course weekend starting on the Friday evening (6.30pm - 8.30pm). Course weekends will include some unstructured community group time, experiential learning, theory and discussion. 
We will also offer supervision skills practice and group supervision each course weekend.
 Participants organise themselves into study groups to support each other in between course weekends, meeting up in person or remotely, as needed. These groups will not be monitored, rather they are creative spaces for each group and the members within to design and engage in as they feel appropriate.
 In addition, following completion of the course, we will offer you two 2-hour zoom supervision clinics on 
Saturday mornings (dates to be agreed between participants and facilitators). They are designed to offer you 
extra support post-course. No supplementary fee is charged for these clinics and your attendance is entirely 
voluntary.
 Our aim is to be as paper free as possible. All course related documents will be shared or accessed online in 
order to reflect our commitment to environmental sustainability.
