Who supports the Supervisors?

Providing supervision is a distinct professional practice. It requires more than knowledge of supervision models, frameworks and professional standards. It calls for reflective self-awareness, ethical judgement, confidence in our professional identity and an ongoing commitment to learning.

Yet, as supervisors, how often do we have the opportunity to reflect on our own supervisory practice?

I've been providing professional social work supervision for over 20 years, and I know that supporting others brings its own complexities, responsibilities and challenges.

Supervision of supervisors creates a dedicated space to focus on you as a supervisor.

Together, we can explore your supervisory relationships, the challenges and ethical dilemmas you encounter, your confidence and professional identity, and how your values and experiences influence your practice.

Whether you're relatively new to providing supervision, an experienced supervisor, or developing supervision as a significant part of your professional practice, having your own reflective space matters.

I believe that supervisors deserve opportunities to be supported, challenged and encouraged in their own professional development, just as we provide those opportunities for the people we supervise.

Because good supervision doesn't just happen. It takes reflection, intention and ongoing development.
