In 2011 I qualified as a casework supervisor, working in this role across Bristol schools for a charity called School-Home Support. I learnt that high quality supervision is key to supporting the delivery of effective interventions for children and families.
Within my private practice I offer casework supervision to school staff, including SENCOs, parent support advisors and family support practitioners, to enable:
- The ability to discuss and reflect upon your work with families.
- A space in which to develop your professional practice and understanding.
- Time to explore and process the personal feelings and emotions resulting from the work you do.
- A professional perspective on casework and good practice.
I use the ‘seven-eyed model’ of supervision developed by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet to support a:
- Focus on your client
- Focus on your interventions with your client
- Focus on your relationship with your client
- Focus on your process with your client
- Focus on our relationship as supervisor and supervisee
- Focus on my process as your supervisor
- Focus on the wider context (organisational and professional influences)
