Registered Supervisor Applications - Duration of
Required General Registration.
Until recently, the Board has allowed some minor
flexibility in relation to the requirement
that applicants for supervisor registration have
held general registration for a minimum of 5 years (or 4
years if the applicant holds a DPsych).
Whilst the Board was previously prepared to sometimes
overlook a shortfall of 2 or three months, this will no
longer be accepted unless extenuating circumstances are
formally approved by the Board in a particular
case. See link for forms page. |
