Maintaining Supervisor Accreditation

Supervisor Reaccreditation Requirements

Provision of supervision

You should be providing at least 20 hours of supervision per year.  We recommend you record this as you go along on the Provision of Supervision Log [Word].

Supervisory supervision

Accredited supervisors should be receiving appropriate levels of supervision for your supervisory practice – equivalent to five per cent of your supervisory caseload or one hour per month, from qualified CBT therapists.   

We recommend that you log your supervisory and training supervision (if applicable), together with your clinical supervision on the Collaborative Supervision Summary [Word]. We will ask for a  completed version of this for the previous twelve months if you are selected for Audit.

Supervisor Reaccreditation CPD

You must complete one piece of CBT supervisory CPD every year. There are many activities you can do to show sustained commitment to development as a CBT Supervisor. We suggest you fill our the Supervisory Reflective Statement soon after the activity and you should keep other evidence of the activity.

When should I make my Declaration?

Synchronisation of Declaration dates

If you were awarded one or both of these accreditations after 2017, the date you will be due to sign Reaccreditation online Declaration will be extended to synchronise with the renewal date for your most recent Accreditation. This is so that you can make the online declarations for both or all accreditations at the same time.

For example, if your Practitioner Accreditation is due for renewal in November 2021 and you are awarded Supervisor Accreditation in July 2021, you will not make any declaration until July 2022, when you will make them for both Practitioner and Supervisor at the same time.

If you subsequently apply for Trainer Accreditation, all three Reaccreditation Declaration dates would be synchronised with the anniversary of the award date of the Trainer Accreditation.

If you were awarded Supervisor and/or Trainer Accreditation prior to 2017, your due dates will have already been synchronised.

Supervisor Reaccreditation Audit

If you are selected for Audit, we will ask you to provide information relating to all of your accreditations simultaneously. Details of the previous twelve months are required.
