A session uniquely designed and delivered by Siobhan Maclean and delivered on MS Teams

We know from research that the biggest influence on the supervision you provide is the supervision that you receive. There is often very little training to support social workers as they journey into the supervisor role.

This session will look at the What? Why? How? framework in relation to supervision.

We will consider the key questions of what is supervision? Why is good quality supervision in social work important?
