SupReNet: Supervision Research Network

BACP previously invited applications for a Supervision Research Network Grant. All applications for this award were externally peer-reviewed and the grant was awarded based on the peer-review. The grant has been awarded to the following consortium of researchers:

• Professor Sue Wheeler, University of Leicester (Lead Applicant)
• Professor Michael Barkham, University of Sheffield
• Professor Delia Cushway, Coventry University
• Professor Mark Aveline, University of Leicester

The consortium also has an International Advisory Group comprising of:

• Professor Nicholas Ladany, Lehigh University, USA
• Professor Margot Schofield, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia
• Professor Jan Grant, Curtin University, Perth Australia
• Professor Helge Ronnestadt, University of Oslo, Norway
• Dr Claus Jacobsen, University of Aalborg, Denmark

This consortium of researchers will:

• Identify and prioritise important and topical research questions for counselling and psychotherapy supervision in the UK
• Design and develop research protocols to take key aspects of the research agenda forward
• Write funding proposals for the above research protocols and identify/engage academics to take them forward
• Identify funding bodies and submit research funding applications to relevant funding bodies

This activity will in turn help secure the future of supervision research in the UK.

Updates of this research network will be provided on this webpage and future editions of Therapy Today, however, if in the meantime you would like to be kept updated then please email your contact details to Kaye Richards: kaye.richards@bacp.co.uk
