Skills for Clinical and Case Supervision

Download a printable application form (PDF, 392k) for this course.

A practical one day course for those who supervise the clinical and casework of others. The day combines an overview of the supervision process with an exploration of the practical problems which arise within it.

What Exactly Should I Be Doing As A Supervisor ?

The way in which we supervise is often decided by our own experience as supervisees or by the style of those around us - rather than from a clear understanding of the process. Delegates will be introduced to a number of recent models of supervision which will help clarify their thinking. During the course of the day, delegates will develop an understanding of what their role should be along with the skills needed to make it happen.

Practical Problems And Practical Solutions

A range of practical problems are explored and resolved:

  • Should or shouldn't there be a line management relationship between supervisor and supervisee ?
  • How do I give feedback in supervision?
  • How do I balance professional responsibilities with a developmental/ supportive role?
  • What about supervision records?
  • What is the role of confidentiality in supervision?

What Should My Supervision Meetings Consist Of ?

Delegates will learn how structure supervision meetings to meet their own and their supervisees' needs. Making supervision stimulating & balancing informal and formal supervision are addressed.

Common Supervisory Dilemmas

Delegates will explore and learn how to deal with common supervisory dilemmas such as:

  • The supervisee who does not want to develop their skills
  • What to do with third party information regarding
    supervisees' work
  • How to deal with caseload management
  • The supervisee who resists all aspects of supervision.
