Supervisor's Report

This must be completed by your current CBT clinical supervisor. This document
should be completed and signed within one month prior to your application
submission. If you have been supervised by your current supervisor for less
than six months, your previous supervisor should also provide a report.

CPD and Reflective Statements

You are expected to give evidence of five CBT CPD activities drawn from across the
range of learning and development activities. These will have been completed in the
twelve months since you were awarded Provisional Accreditation. One of these may
be a non-CBT specific activity provided that you can justify on your Reflective
Statement how it is appropriate to your practice.

Within this, you are required to include at least six hours of CBT skills workshop(s)
per year and complete a Reflective Statement for each of these. This can be one
workshop or a number of shorter ones.

Clinical Supervision Log Book

You must provide your log book for the 12 months since you were awarded
Provisional Accreditation.
