Supervisors’ reports. Supervisors are asked to complete a report on the student’s progress at the end of semester 2 of Year 1 of the programme (a formative report for those students already in practice), and the end of semesters 1 and 2 of Year 2 of the programme (summative reports which are part of formal module assessments). Supervisors are encouraged to use the reports as opportunities to review the work jointly with the student. In Year 1, the supervisor’s report will indicate whether in the supervisor’s opinion the student is ready to progress to Year 2; in Semester 1 of Year 2 it will indicate the supervisor’s opinion of the student’s progress in counselling practice; and in Semester 2 of Year 2 it will indicate whether in the supervisor’s opinion the student is ready to receive the award of Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling (i.e. the student is qualified to practise). The supervisor’s reports will be considered along with all student assignments in deciding whether or not a student should proceed. Contact between practice providers, programme team and supervisors: The practice provider is asked to nominate a trained counsellor/psychotherapist working in that setting as mentor/adviser to the student and as a named contact for the programme team and the student’s supervisor. The placement/supervisor coordinator or nominee will contact all new practice providers to discuss arrangements for students working under their auspices. Practice providers are welcome to contact the placement/supervisor coordinator at any time to discuss issues of mutual interest or concern. Students should be informed of any discussions concerning them. Practice providers will be asked to verify the number of hours counselling/psychotherapy practice the student has undertaken in that setting, and to provide feedback on the student’s professional awareness and handling of agency procedures.

Supervisors’ reports. As many members will know, and certainly all members-in-training (MITs) do, the Association’s admis- sion process for first-time registrants involves a pre-registration program. One of the requirements is that the MIT reports his or her work-experi- ence on a six-month basis. Each report names the professional member who serves as the MIT’s supervisor. Once the report is received by the Association, that supervisor is contacted and asked to submit a separate report comment- ing on the information in the MIT’s report and providing other information on the MIT’s progress in his or her development as a pro- fessional. Timely receipt of that report by the Association is vital to the MIT’s advancement toward registration. If you are one of the majority of members who are up-to-date on sub- mission of your supervisor’s report – you needn’t read further. If you are still reading, regret- tably, some supervisors are not sub- mitting their reports in a timely manner, and that is a problem. Understandably, the task of com- pleting the reports is not fun. I have been informed on more than one occasion that the task of providing the six-month reports is akin to a significant unpleasant sensation in the posterior. However, in the absence of extenuating circum- stances, the inconvenience, or dis- like for the task, is not an excuse for failing to live up to one’s responsi- bilities to one’s profession and one’s obligation to support those who aspire to one day take their place in that profession. They have the right to expect your support. If they don’t receive it they can be justifiably dis- mayed by the conduct of those who are expected to conform to a higher standard. If one accepts the privi- leges of a profession, one also has to accept the responsibilities. Executive Director’s Message
