Supervision
for People Developers—coaches, facilitators, trainers, learning & development specialists, HR practitioners—supervision is increasingly recognised and recommended as an important element of CPD
for practising counsellors and psychotherapists, regular supervision is an essential requirement of reflexive practice and of continuing membership of the accrediting body
Supervision offers an independent, supportive, confidential forum to reflect, learn and develop your professional practice. It is an appropriate place to ponder ethical and operational dilemmas, to explore new models and techniques and their application to your situation, and to bring case studies and material for discussion.
The purpose of supervision is to ensure that the best and respective interests of the various parties are clarified, respected and protected. It supports the practitioner to maintain an objective perspective.
Consultancy supervision differs from tutorial, training or managerial supervision, which have a different function, emphasis, roles and responsibilities.
In consultancy supervision, experienced and qualified practitioners keep responsibility for the work they do with their own clients/organisations, and to consult with their supervisor—who is neither their trainer, manager nor sponsor—on those issues they wish to explore. Supervision may be on a one-to-one basis, or as part of a group, benefitting from the cross-fertilisation of ideas and material.
