In the early 90’s Robin was instrumental in organising two conferences to look at the dynamics of accreditation, out of which the IPN (Independent Practitioners Network) grew with a membership of over 200 people http://www.ipnetwork.org.uk. The idea behind it was to form peer groups where members were accountable for each others’ practice. To increase learning and to lessen the opportunity for collusion, each group regularly sends a delegate to another group to challenge and support. Similarly that group would be visited by a delegate from another group.

The day will start with an appreciative inquiry into good experiences of accreditation, share our needs and expectations, and then we will form small special interest groups to look at how we can best organise ourselves into a self governing body. You are welcome if you are in an already existing supervision group or dyad that would like to join ISN, or you can come as an individual supervisor wanting to join an existing group or form a group of your own.
