Evaluation
This section is in two parts. The first offers self-reflection questions that were created for the programme participants. They may be useful to you for facilitating your own and others’ learning and for evaluating your progress over time.
The second part comes from the final evaluation of the whole programme, in relation critical companionship (CC).
1. SELF-REFLECTION QUESTIONS
· Was I intentional in using any of the processes/strategies in the CC framework?
· On reflection, did I spot any of them in myself or others in my group?
· Did I or any of the others point them out in the moment?
· Do I notice myself doing this now in my everyday practice?
· When I watch the videos, am I looking for CC processes and strategies in the stories?
· Am I able to see any of the CC
domains (processes and strategies) emerging as I am working on my MPCP priority area of development? Am I intentionally trying out the CC domains and inquiring how they work?
· Does the CC framework help me articulate my practical knowhow of facilitating person-centred clinical practice, learning or inquiry?
o Has it given me language to describe the expertise and practical know-how that I never talk about because I take it for granted and see it as commonplace?
· Has CC increased my sensitivity/enabled me to go deeper into understanding myself, others, context etc?
· Am I more in touch with my intuition, noticing what I notice and seeing that as mattering and combining it with my rationality?
· Have my relationships become more person-centred, collaborative and mutual?
· Am I using the facilitation processes of role-modelling observing, listening, questioning, critical and creative dialogue with self and others?
· Has my self-knowledge and reflexivity grown? Do I ask for feedback?
· Do I act with humility, grace, kindness in challenging situations?
· Am I nurturing others and myself? How do I do this?
· Have I accessed any of the CC references and resources to widen and deepen my understanding

Experience of an anonymous participant on the Critical Companionship component of the Pilot Multi-Professional Consultant Practice (MPCP) programme
It should be noted that the critical companions on this pilot programme were external and they were not, as were the programme facilitators, familiar with CC practice and theory. Some of the external critical companions recognised that they would be learning a new role, as nuanced in this participant’s account.
