Supervision of psychological therapies and interventions

Cross professional framework

In line with NES's role of providing "a skilled and sustainable workforce for a healthier Scotland", NES Psychology Directorate has developed an inclusive cross professional framework for the delivery of high quality supervision training.

Key to this framework is the "NES Training in Generic Supervision Competences for Psychological Therapies and Interventions", often referred to as the GSC, which covers models of supervision, techniques in assessment and evaluation and educational principles.

More information about the GSC can be found in the GSC Information leaflet (PPTX)

This is complemented by a range of modality and profession specific modules which focus on the technical skills and/or professional context within which supervisors practice.

Continual professional development for more experienced supervisors is also supported across all professions through workshops, masterclasses and conferences.
