Rationale for this workshop
Within the social development professions, the role of the supervisor is embedded in both the management of social service programmes as well as professional practice systems. Supervision is ultimately intended to improve service delivery to service users by focusing on the developmental needs of practitioners. Effective supervision allows practitioners to build purposeful relationships, make good professional judgements and be accountable for their work.
Apart from the need to fulfill critical supervision tasks, supervisors in social development professions often find themselves in leadership roles with substantial managerial responsibilities. For this reason the workshop is expanded to include aspects of management and leadership such as dealing with disciplinary proceedings and building effective teams.
