Supervision – make it work for you
January 16 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Supervision has a long history in social work and in contemporary practice it is vital. Supervision is a two-way process, it is not something that is done ‘to you.’ In this session Siobhan will support participants to explore how to be an active partner rather than a passive recipient in supervision. The skills in preparing for supervision will be vital throughout your career.
Learning Outcomes
- How to prepare for supervision
- Guidance on what to take into supervision
- Tips to help you demonstrate your practice
- Understanding how to be a proactive learner
