Supervisor Information Pack (SIP)

The information pack is designed as a reference text for issues associated with placements and supervision for those who have taken on the role of supervisor on the University of Sheffield Clinical Psychology Training Programme. It has been compiled by the clinical tutors from the University of Sheffield in conjunction with the clinical practice sub-committee of the Sheffield Course Training Committee. We welcome ideas for its development and updating. Other information regarding the programme is contained within the Programme Handbook and Assessment Regulations and Coursework Guidelines Handbook which may be obtained from Angie Rollinson (a.rollinson@sheffield.ac.uk)

Supervisors are a fundamental resource and stakeholders in the training process. We hope this pack helps you in carrying out the role of supervisor. If you have queries that cannot be answered through reference to the various sections, please feel free to contact any of the the clinical tutors or clinical secretaries.
