Professional Supervision

 
 

What IS professional supervision?

Supervision is about keeping you healthy, ethical and growing in your chosen career

It is the process whereby a worker in human services can speak to someone who is trained to identify changes in the person that could indicate stress from their work involving clients/ participants/ patients. In simpler terms,

Supervision provides opportunity for the supervisee to reflect on their practice and talk about workplace and professional issues in a safe environment that is not linked to their workplace.

A supervisor is responsible for challenging practices and informing the supervisee of alternative theories and new evidence based directions.

The supervisor is responsible for observing the mental health of their supervisee and in turn protecting the public from poor practices.
