Introduction to supervision

 

Course overview:

This 3 hour course draws on a tried and tested approach to providing effective supervision, as part of management processes that motivate, support, develop and direct staff in meeting organisational objectives. The course covers templates for contracting and recording, what to include on a supervision agenda and setting a conducive environment; alongside a review of underpinning theories.

 

Aim(s):

To equip participants with the knowledge, tools and templates to develop a systematic approach to effective supervision, which will support, challenge and motivate staff.

 

Objectives:

By the end of the course participants will have had opportunities to:

  • Explore their knowledge, experience and attitude to supervision - both personal and organisational
  • Consider an ‘integrated approach’ to supervision
  • Agree some basic principles in delivering effective supervision – for example contracting, creating agendas, recording and what needs to be considered for setting the tone and environment
  • Be introduced to several underpinning theoretical frameworks
