EMCC UK volunteers only: supervision taster pilot

EMCC UK is running a pilot for our new supervision experience taster offer. These are one-off small group supervision sessions intended to promote the benefits of supervision. For the pilot, we are opening sessions exclusively to existing EMCC UK volunteers. Learning and feedback from the pilot will help inform the design of this supervision taster format ahead of its launch in early 2025.

These pilot sessions are free of charge. The quid pro quo is that we ask participants to complete feedback forms after the session. We also ask that you only book a slot if you are firmly committed to attending. Once your place is confirmed, we will send out further joining instructions including information on how to prepare for the session and what to expect.

Please note, these taster sessions are not a replacement for your own regular supervision. These taster slots can be counted as CPD hours but not be as supervision hours for accreditation purposes.

For the pilot, you can, if you wish, attend on more than one date. But not with the same supervisor more than once. You can see which volunteer supervisor is running each session.

If the session you are interested in is already fully booked, you can email info@emccuk.org to be added to a waiting list in case of cancellations.
