Description

Quality supervision is consistently identified as a practice that directly benefits workers, agencies and clients. Effective supervision increases job satisfaction and morale, ensures clients are receiving optimal treatment through better communication, provides transference of complex clinical skills to workers and builds a culture of best practice and innovation.

This six-day training course comprises a mixture of theory and practice relating to supervision. It covers a number of topics, including the history of supervision, supervision models, contracting, feedback, legal issues and ethics, diversity, and action methods.

In general, the first half of each day covers theory and research related to these topics, and the afternoon involves practice exercises in small groups. Homework tasks (reading and applied exercises) are built into the course.

Please note: This course is designed for clinicians already providing supervision, and who are able to apply theory to practice with their own supervisees. Assignments which include pre-reading as well as live supervision exercises are required to be carried out between each of the six sessions.

This event will cover:

  • Describe a range of supervision modes, methods, and models, and begin to identify their own supervision practice model
  • Identify the roles and tasks within supervision, and factors which enhance the process, and ensure professionalism
  • Apply a range of techniques for giving and eliciting feedback in supervision
  • Identify and respond to issues such as culture, power, class, age and gender in supervision
  • Consider the organisational context of supervision
  • Apply a range of skills relating to 'use of self' within supervision
