£800 p.a. - Type I (highest)
£175 p.a. - Type II (lower) 
£ 0 p.a. - Type III (minimal)

Each case will be reviewed regularly and the type of supervision allocated may change as circumstances change.

Supervision fees will be calculated on a pro-rata basis if:

  • there has been more than one type of supervision applied in a one-year period; or
  • supervision has been in place for less than one year.

Details of pro-rata calculations will be shown on the annual invoice that the deputy recieves.
