Supervisors and Professional Practice Consultants (PPCs) of mediators: a skills workshop with John Gray

Aimed at experienced Supervisors and PPCs, and for those practitioners who took John Gray’s two-day Supervision Skills programme in September 2014.

Scottish Mediation is offering an opportunity to Supervisors and PCCs to benchmark and improve their practice. Review the core messages about the boundaries and purpose of supervision and practice consultancy, strengthen the link between how you supervise/consult and improved outcomes for mediators and their clients, and delve deeper into the nature of the supervision/PCC relationship.
