Session Summary 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.
