Group Supervision Sep to Dec 2021 - places available to approved list.

Dear ,

Thank you for your application earlier this year to join our Group Supervision scheme. We are pleased to announce that a new monthly group is being set up starting in September. We are now able to offer a place to colleagues like yourself who are on the approved waiting list on a first come, first served basis.

(We will shortly be accepting additional expressions of interest from colleagues who are not yet on the approved list, but priority is being given to those like yourself who have already applied and been accepted to the list.)

This is an excellent opportunity to get professional supervision in a group setting where you can safely present and review your client cases in a confidential and structured manner. Our first group is already up and running and proving to be highly popular and effective.

If you would like to take up one of the remaining places on the new group, please follow the guidance below:

What you need to do next:

1. Please Reply to this email confirming that you accept the offer of a place on the scheme.
2. We will then send you an acceptance email and keep your place open for 24 hours pending payment.
3. Then make payment for the initial four sessions of £280 or £140 (as 50% of the full fee as an initial payment. The balancing payment is due after the second session). You can do this either through BACS using online/mobile banking - our Account Number is 21667462 and the Sort Code 01-01-94 and the account name is Hampshire Global Ltd. Or via PayPal when payment should be made to: [email protected]. NB This payment is non-refundable whether you attend all the sessions or not. You will receive a receipt. Your only commitment is to the initial set of 4 x 2-hours sessions. This works out at only £35 per hour.
4. Please note that it is your responsibility to check with your professional body about supervision requirements.

I hope you will be able to take up this place. We are oversubscribed when we announce the group supervision places.

Best wishes,

Patrick
