Who is this course for?

Professionals who have line management responsibilities for those practitioners whose work brings them into contact with children and families.

What level is the course and do I need any specific skills?

This is a professional development course designed for those who have some previous child protection training, for example Introduction to child protection training.

By the end of the course you should be able to:

• identify the purpose of supervision, with particular reference to safeguarding work
  
  
• explain the different models of supervision and their relationship to practice and safeguarding outcomes
  
  
• identify both practitioner and manager skills within a competency framework
  
  
• apply principles of adult learning to your own supervision practice
  
  
• practice supervisory skills and evaluate your own performance in order to apply your learning to real life situations
  
  
• recognise some of the unhealthy processes in supervision which may result in dangerous practice.

 

How will I be taught?

Through face-to-face learning by experienced professionals over two modules. The first module focuses on building skills and knowledge using a wide range of methods including direct formal input, small and large group exercises and discussions, and DVD supported learning.

The second module provides the opportunity to enhance skills in staff supervision through use of supported practice sessions and feedback.

Feedback from previous participants

So much information, well delivered and backed up by the learning pack.

Good variety of methods - discussions, group work, role play.

I feel I have gained additional knowledge as well as confidence in managing supervision.

Excellent trainers, knowledgeable, caring and interesting.

The day course has been a reflective pace to enable to think about the value of and transferable skills used within the supervision. A good mix of multi- disciplinary professionals.

I have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this course. It has been extremely informative with lots of practical exercises which I feel I will be able to put into practice to enhance my professional life and supervise effectively.

Every question was answered thoroughly and the trainers created a safe, really appropriate environment to learn in.
