Workshops run 9 am - 3 pm - via ZOOM

An interactive online workshop on preparing and providing Supported Assessments for ACC Sensitive Claims

This workshop is to assist those quite new to completing Supported Assessments, as well as being a refresher for those more experienced.

(PLEASE NOTE: This is not ACC endorsed training - it is a senior clinician's take)

*This training will only be held once per annum. Please contact us if you are interested but unable to make this date.

This interactive workshop is offered by Diane Clare, an experienced clinical psychologist who has been an ACC provider since the 1990s, and who has been providing Supported Assessments since the start of the Sensitive Claims service. Diane will discuss what works and what can hinder you in your practice for delivering these assessments. She will also address your questions and comments.

Although the new contract with ACC will still include Supported Assessments, there are a few changes to the process where these are provided and Diane will also address this.

Topics covered: 

  1. What/why/who: What is an ACC Supported Assessment, why are they needed, and who delivers them?

  2. ABCD: Preparing and things to check before you begin: Approvals, Booking in, Core information, documents you will need.

  3. The 4Rs in Mapping the journey - rapport, roles, risks, requirements.

  4. The 3 Fs to the Finish line:  Follow up session, formulation and feedback.

  5. Handling hiccups e.g. delay of medical notes, remote working, accuracy checking.

  6. Conclusions and issues arising. 

Diane Clare will facilitate this workshop using ZOOM. Participants will be able to do exercises in separate (virtual) break-out rooms. If you have specific questions, we also encourage participants to email these to us prior to the workshop.  

Who Should Attend:

This online workshop is to assist those quite new to completing Supported Assessments, as well as being a refresher for those more experienced senior clinicians. It is suitable for ACC Approved assessors and those seeking approval from ACC to become assessors. 

PLEASE NOTE: This workshop offers guidance in how to tackle the task of providing Supported Assessments, once you are an approved assessor. However, your attendance for this training is not a guarantee of ACC approval for you to become an assessor nor is it part of ACC's in-house training as it is a clinician's take on the challenges in this task.

Also NOTE - If your organisation is interested in having Diane present face-face as a private workshop to your team, please contact Faye Johnson for more information.

With enough interest, a 2nd day of training will be available that will build on the introductory workshop and will provide a more in-depth look into preparing and providing Supported Assessments for ACC Sensitive Claims.

(Again - please note: This 2nd workshops is also not ACC endorsed training - it is a senior clinician's take)
