Curricular information is subject to change.

This Module is part of the Professional Masters in Child Art Psychotherapy. The Supervision modules run throughout the
duration of training, coextensively with the Clinical Placement modules, and are designed to support students in their clinical
CAP practice. This module comprises method-specific supervision in both individual and small group contexts. Students engage
in individual supervision approximately fortnightly, and attend semi-regular small group supervision. Small groups typically
consist of 5 - 6 students to one supervisor. In supervision, students present their clinical CAP material and engage with peers
and the supervisor in a way that supports their continuing development of professional practice and reflective skills. The course
supervisors are accredited with ICP (or equivalent) and have experience working with children. Supervision is conducted at the
teaching centre.
100% attendance is expected, but 80% attendance is the minimum attendance required to achieve credit for the
module. Absences must be discussed with the module coordinator or course lecturers, who will require supporting
documentation (e.g. medical certificates). Students who miss part of the module may be asked to do a further piece
of work in remediation.
