2019 offerings
The School of Psychology offered a series of supervision workshops for Senior Clinical Psychologists; these are broadly developmental and build on each other over the years. Twenty places were available in each workshop. Please also note that you must have completed Level 1 and Level 2 before you are allowed entry to Levels Intermediate and Advanced (Levels 3, 4, & 5).
The early levels (Levels 1 & 2) are an introduction to supervision and especially useful for new supervisors. The Workshops cover areas such as understanding the role of the supervisor and supervisee, contracting (practical and psychological) the UCD programme and structure of review/evaluation and how to build a self-reflective space for the trainee.
