You will need to undertake the minimum of two supervision sessions with your volunteer supervisee. This is essential, for you will be required to reflect on the experience that you have gained within your role as a clinical supervisor, and to consider how you plan to develop your knowledge and skills that will aid you in future clinical supervision sessions within one to one sessions and group clinical supervision sessions. You are expected to keep a reflexive clinical supervisor diary.

You will be required to write a reflective essay on the theory and practice of clinical supervision.

To be eligible to study this module, you must demonstrate the ability to study at this level and commit to attempting the assessment. You must also be working in an environment that will allow you to use a clinical supervision contract, and clinical supervision model taught in this module.
