Overview

Please note next start date is January 2026.

This programme is part of a wider initiative from the Department of Health, which supports the government’s priority to increase access to evidence based mental health interventions for children and young people.
Students on this course develop their core supervision skills alongside the key CYP-IAPT principles of evidence-based practice, participation, accessibility, accountability and awareness.

Students also attend lectures and supervision practice groups specific to the trainees they are supervising, from the recruit to train therapies (RtT), Children and Young Person’s Wellbeing Practice (CWP) or Education Mental Health Practice (EMHP) programmes.

During training, students attend lectures and video feedback tutor groups at university, while providing clinical supervision at their sites. They learn service project, presentation and reflective practice skills, and supervision competencies are assessed with an essay, video sessions and portfolio.
