Our focus and remit

We want to be professional and independent, yet aligned with other professional associations such as AC, ICF, EMCC, APECs, as the main body representing supervision. We don't want to replicate their current activities or to compete with them, but to partner and compliment their work. We have formed alliances and working partnerships with most of the bodies above.

The association is objective, independent, with a wide exposure, offering different functions benefiting a variety of sectors.

We will share our collective wisdom, experience and knowledge for the benefit of our members and non-members.

We want to be professional, supportive, education-focused and respected as an association offering coach supervisors a place to reflect, improve and find great options for their supervisees.

We also want to offer organisations a choice of professional and experienced coach supervisors.

We focus the association to be:

• Professional and effective
• Supportive, caring and helpful
• Interested and interesting
• Open to professionals and diverse
• Flexible, responsive and alert to trends
• Leaders in this field
• Developing best practice
• Enhancing ethics and standards
• Authoritative
• Member-led

We have an active rosta of Honorary Members and Advisers who inform and guide us, some at annual Strategy Group meetings where we review progress, anticipate trends in coaching and supervision, and plan for the future. Our Board Members focus on governance and on achieving our annual plans and strategy.
