Grounded in their Good Supervisory Practice Framework (GSPF), the UK Council for Graduate Education (UKCGE) Recognised Supervisor is an internationally recognised acknowledgement of the reflective good praxis of doctoral supervisors. The Good Supervisory Practice Framework sets out the wide-ranging, highly complex and demanding set of roles involved in modern research supervision. The award process allows research supervisors to develop their practice and attain official recognition for supervision through structured self-reflection.
