Supervision details
Supervision Are you a Counsellor, Psychologist or Social Worker? Do you work for the Probation Service, in a mental health setting, or any other profession where you are engaged in working with people? Regular supervision may be essential to your wellbeing and that of your clients and patients. What is Supervision? Supervision is used to discuss casework and other professional issues in a structured way. This is often referred to as clinical or counselling supervision. The main aim of supervision is for the practitioner to learn from his or her experience and increase in expertise, as well as to ensure good service to their client or patient. “Supervision aims to identify solutions to problems, improve practice and increase understanding of professional issues” UKCC (1996). Why is Supervision Important? In a recent paper published by the University of Northern British Columbia entitled, “Clinical Supervision and job satisfaction among mental health and Psychiatric nurses” they found that, “the findings seem to demonstrate that efficient clinical supervision is related to lower burnout.” Most professional organisations also require practitioners to attend regular supervision as part of their ongoing membership.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
