PSF 2023 - Principal Fellowship applicant pack

The resources below provide you with the guidance and resources you need to start your application for Principal Fellowship using the new Professional Standards Framework (PSF) 2023.

Our Fellowship Category Tool has been designed to help you reflect on your practice

The tool consists of a set of statements that are aligned to the different PSF Dimensions of the Framework and Descriptors of the Professional Standards Framework (PSF 2023). After you have answered a series of multiple-choice questions, which will take around 10-20 minutes, you will be shown your results and a PDF report summarising your responses will be sent to you via email. 

Use the Fellowship Category Tool.

Please be aware that due to a significant and unprecedented increase in fellowship applications we are currently unable to respond to your application within 12 weeks.
