Consultative or clinical supervision
There is the possibility, depending on the placement you secure in your third year for there to be supervision costs incurred as some placements do not cover this cost. You can expect these fees to be in the region of £40-60/hour.

Professional fees
Professional membership and Professional Indemnity Insurance cover may be required for the third year placement depending upon where you obtain a placement.
