Supervision
This programme is designed for Youth Work Managers and Senior Youth Workers (or similar roles) in Islington, specifically those involved in both direct youth work delivery and the line management of staff or volunteers.
Each one-hour session takes place monthly, with the option to skip August, and requires a minimum one-year commitment.
Supervisees can arrange session times and dates with their supervisor based on mutual availability. While sessions are typically conducted via Zoom, in-person supervision is also possible.
Supervision is a collaborative process with professional boundaries involving the exploration and sharing of practice. The process is mindful of the expectation of a duty of care and the need for ethical, effective, efficient, and so safe delivery of services.
Supervision is a means of reflection and an organic form of quality assurance, holding in mind the benefit, safeguarding and well-being of practitioners, clients and the organisation.
