PLVE Validation Supervisor Application Forms 2019-20

The Validation Supervisor application process has been updated this year to align the process across the whole of the Midlands and East Region. The same forms and information on this page apply to everyone in each of the three Areas: West Midlands, East Midlands and East of England.

The forms for the 2019/20 Winter Tranche of VS applications are available here. 

Please note the timeline here: 

• Applications must be received at HEE by email by 9:30am on Friday 3rd January 2020.
• Practice visits will be arranged during January and February before interviews.
• Interviews will be scheduled for March or April 2020 depending on how many applications we get and how long practice visits take to complete.
• VS Induction course will be in May after which an approved VED can start.

Please download the application form and also the supporting documents.

The Application Form is an interactive .pdf file and will respond to your individual circumstances. The form and its content will adapt to the area in which your practice is based. As you work through the form, boxes for comments and additional pages will open. Full and descriptive answers will help the selection panel greatly in their assessment of your application.

In order for the Application Form to function correctly it is essential that it is opened in Adobe Reader. This is a free download and if you do not have it installed on your computer you can obtain it from here:

Some computers are set up to open .pdf files in alternative programmes or web browsers. In particular Windows 10 tries to open the form in 'Edge' web browser, whilst Macs try to open the form in their own 'Preview' reader. The forms will then not open and differing error messages will appear.  To avoid these difficulties and to ensure that the forms are opened in Adobe reader, follow these steps. 

• Download and save the forms .(pdf files) in a folder on your computer or desktop - do this by using a 'right click' on your mouse for the link to each form and then (depending on the web browser you use)  select 'Save Link as......'  or 'Save Target as.....' which will allow you to choose the folder into which you wish to save the individual forms.
   
• Open Adobe Reader on its own, and then use the ‘File’ command (top left corner) and then ‘Open’ command to browse to the place where you have stored the application form .pdf file
   
• Adobe Reader should then open the form and you should have no further problems. You will be asked to save the form with a new name. You can also save the form at any time whilst completing it and then return to it later.

Here are some supporting documents which you should read before you start completing your application. You can download and save each of these by using the link buttons. This document gives you information about the Application Process:
