Supervision is a collaborative process with professional boundaries involving the exploration and sharing of practice. The process is mindful of the expectation of a duty of care and the need for ethical, effective, efficient, and so safe delivery of services. Supervision is a means of reflection and an organic form of practice assurance, holding in mind the benefit, safeguarding and well-being of practitioners, clients and the organisation.
Supervision sessions will typically take place on teams
Each session lasts one hour and must occur once a month (with the option to skip August).
Supervisees will arrange with their supervisor the times and dates which suit them best.
The programme is for twelve months, and repeatable.
