A group of assistants – lead by Senior Assistant Alida Ruiter – supports the work of the training. There is a ratio of one assistant to three participants. Each assistant is assigned, by the trainer, to groups which may vary on a daily basis, depending on the practice requirements.
The work of assistants is vital in each training. It provides a safe environment for the students to practice new skills as well as supporting the assistants to continue their own skills development.
Assistants are responsible for signing the Personal Session Log and the Case Consultation Log of the participants that they have worked with. Personal Session and Case Consultation logs sheets are available at the beginning of the training. These logs form part of the assessment requirements at the end of the training.https://www.irelandse.org/faqs Only assistants approved by EASE and SEI are permitted to complete the students record of personal sessions or consultations.
Assistants also provide feedback on the development of participants throughout the training as a support for the students' learning. As there is no written work, this is essential for the students to monitor their progress
