PWP Supervisor Training
This course will equip low-intensity practitioners with the knowledge and skills to provide high-quality case management supervision, while honing their ability to critically reflect upon these skills.
Within a supportive learning environment, we will explore a range of factors relating to low-intensity supervision, such as managing risk, contracting and goal setting for supervisees. Training will be underpinned by key principles essential across all psychological professions, including anti-racist practice, trauma-informed practice, and culturally responsive principles.
You will have plenty of opportunities to consider the implementation of these principles within your own supervisory and service context. This will include considering our own intersectionality, the influence of our own experiences and biases and the impact on our supervision and clinical practice, and how we can hold ourselves accountable to prioritise development and growth, and support supervisees to do the same.
Module content, delivery and assessment is dictated by professional registration requirements (BABCP/BPS) and mapped to the Roth and Pilling (2015) supervisor’s competency framework.
The programme will also include:
- Peer supervision and a facilitated supervision of supervision session
- A combination of theoretical teaching and discussion, working with case studies, skills practice and reflective groups and independent reflective practice
- In-session learning, as well as directed independent learning via our online learning platform
