Becoming a probationer in Scotland during the Covid-19 pandemic
GTCS asked clinical psychologist Dr Emma Hepburn to create a resource that would support all of our new probationers over the summer. Read the resourceCertificates of Full Registration
All TIS probationers who gain full registration at the end of this academic session will receive their letter and Certificate of Full Registration by mid to end July. If your Local Authority needs confirmation of your registration, they can search the register here.
ITE Profile
If you completed your ITE profile at the end of last session (2019), and are now unable to view it, please don’t be concerned. If the key strengths and development needs are not copied across to your interim profile in August when you start your probation we would suggest that you use one of your first supporter meetings to discuss this area and agree what can be entered into your new profile. It’s a great way for your supporter to get to know you.
