Who Should Attend:

This online workshop is to assist those who have already attended the Supported Assessments 101 workshop, or are reasonably experienced in completing Supported Assessments but are seeking more detailed information on specific aspects.

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 has a number of staff interested in this more in-depth look into providing Supported Assessments either as an online or face-face private workshop, please contact us for more information.

The following peak bodies and organisations recognise that the training we offer is of a high quality, evidence based and relevant for their members CPD.

Zoom Meeting Date & Times: TBC

Once you register you will be sent the Zoom Login details.

Participants will be doing exercises in separate (virtual) break out rooms and you will be emailed resources prior to the training. There will be group discussions and participants are encouraged to ask questions.

As this is an interactive workshop, we therefore ask all participants to have their own computer / laptop with a working camera and mic as this makes interaction with the breakout room activities and discussions easier and enhances the learning for all. A few people gathered around one device will not work for this workshop unfortunately and please note, you tend to get feedback if you are in the same office as someone else in the same Zoom meeting.

Please note: Diane will share her slides with attendees prior to the training.

This webinar will not be recorded.
