Effective Supervision Skills: (A 2 day course)
IDT Training & Education
Practical, proven, supervision skills and awareness training for participants from voluntary and statutory organisations in the fields of education, health and social inclusion. Equally suitable for new and experienced managers
What do we mean by ‘Supervision’?
People attach their own different meaning to the term Supervision. We see it as a supportive, collaborative part of the line-management process, where the supervisee is encouraged to examine and review their work in an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect.
It’s also an essential ingredient in quality assurance with a direct impact on service delivery – so sometimes behaviour and attitudes need to be challenged.
How to integrate and reconcile this inclusive, empowering approach with some of the tricky aspects of dealing with the less-than-perfect people who are us and those we supervise is the key task of the training
The training and what it does
Effective Supervision Skills and its approach is proven in the crucible of real working experience across the spectrum of public service organisations – whether based in the community, voluntary or statutory sectors. It offers a simple but powerful structure, focusing on the tasks and performance of the worker while simultaneously building and maintaining the essential supervisory relationship.
The course lasts for two days, focusing on a one to one supervision session with one of its great strengths being its experiential nature. All the teaching is underlined by progressive practical sessions which use participants’ own issues in a non-threatening, safe environment to ensure everyone’s learning is grounded in reality.
What prior experience is Needed?
Through its emphasis on Supervision as a process, and identifying relevant transferable skills, the course is particularly effective in building competence and confidence in recently-appointed supervisors.
It also provides an opportunity for those with more experience to re-examine their practice and acquire some fresh approaches to this essential management function.
By the end, you will have...
- explored what good supervision is, and what it can do for your organisation
- understood and practised the use of IDT’s simple, powerful supervision process model
- raised your awareness of personal perspectives, and their effect on relationships
