Information for supervisors about placement documentation and competencies

The placement paperwork for the 2016 cohort onwards was revised in response to new accreditation criteria published by the BPS. There is now an emphasis on the observation and documentation of emerging competencies in specific interventions, and in psychological assessment and testing. Please see below if you require any guidance on completing the current versions of the forms (i.e. trainee intakes 2016 onwards).

 

• Guidance on completion of formative ECC Form (First year March submission)
• Clinical Competence Marking Criteria for 2020 to 2023 intakes
• Guidance for using the new placement paperwork for 2024 intake onwards - PowerPoint presentation
• An example of a supervision session focused on eliciting systemic competencies.

 

This link takes you to a role play of a supervision session where systemic competencies are elicited. By using the systemic framework competency log, you may be able to practice an observation of the trainee’s emerging competencies in this area. You may want to think about what feedback you might have given them at the end of supervision.
