Our focus and remit

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

The association is objective, independent, neutral, with a frequent presence in the coaching media

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

We aim to be professional, supportive, knowledge-focused and respected as an association offering coach supervisors a place to reflect, improve and develop.

We also want to offer organisations a choice of professional and experienced coach supervisors, whether when selecting for the first time or perhpas when seeking a new supervisor to work with.

We focus the association to be:

• Professional and effective
• Supportive, caring and helpful
• Inclusive, open and diverse
• Appeal to professionals in their field
• Flexible, responsive and alert to trends
• Lead and be influential in this field
• Help develop best practice and foster new emerging practices
• Enhance ethics and standards
• Authoritative
• Member-led

We have an active rosta of Honorary Members and Advisers who inform and guide our strategy, 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.
