@ECockerell @MohamedNoshin @DaveTapsell @TimAldridgeDCS @BeverleyHALLIG2 @YvetteStanley18 @nickpendry1 That's exactly what practice supervisors told us on #PSDP hence we developed the ‘Supervising the Supervisor’ programme. We have over 30 fab and free resources designed for all who manage practice supervisors . Take a look ow.ly/6DnN50Db4UZ #JourneyToExcellence

How do we construct a space where SWs get the supervision they need #JourneyToExcellence @ECockerell @TimAldridgeDCS @BeverleyHALLIG2 @JaniceBarnby @YvetteStanley18 @nickpendry1

@BeverleyHALLIG2 @dez_holmes @NickiShaw68 @TimAldridgeDCS Thanks ! and please do help yourself to some of our great free resources from the Practice Supervisor Development Programme #PSDP bit.ly/3CmajEX Over 100 to choose from!

I want to give a big shout out to the RiP PSDP for supporting supervisors in their role. The gift that keeps on giving❤ #JourneyToExcellence @JaniceBarnby @dez_holmes @NickiShaw68 @TimAldridgeDCS

@MohamedNoshin @DaveTapsell @ECockerell @TimAldridgeDCS @BeverleyHALLIG2 @YvetteStanley18 @nickpendry1 So true - jumping from hearing the story in supervision to action planning undermines reflection and analysis. This 'quick fix' leads to a lack of curiosity and plans that might not be helpful to families in supporting change.#JourneyToExcellence

@JaniceBarnby @DaveTapsell @ECockerell @TimAldridgeDCS @BeverleyHALLIG2 @YvetteStanley18 @nickpendry1 Action bias - I see the problem I want to fix it. but actually we need to slow down, listen, reflect, give space to the emotions, having intentionality whilst holding a position of both a teaching and learning mindset (good teachers are curious students!)

@DaveTapsell @YvetteStanley18 @ECockerell @TimAldridgeDCS @BeverleyHALLIG2 @nickpendry1 @AndyWLloyd @DCSLeeds @NanaBon1975 @Rachelsystem Providing NQSWs with the time and space to reflect and learn from their experiences, research and the voices of children and families has been a particular challenge during covid. I'm wondering what we've learnt about online supervision?

@YvetteStanley18 @ECockerell @JaniceBarnby @TimAldridgeDCS @BeverleyHALLIG2 @nickpendry1 @AndyWLloyd @DCSLeeds @NanaBon1975 @Rachelsystem The need to find ways of being alongside NQSWs in the Covid and post Covid context are critical@in allowing them to be as good as they want to be.

@MohamedNoshin @DaveTapsell @ECockerell @TimAldridgeDCS @BeverleyHALLIG2 @YvetteStanley18 @nickpendry1 Agree - it's so important to have safe spaces to recognise what we bring to the supervisory relationship and how we need to hold multiple perspectives in the context of power, discrimination, sameness and difference #JourneyToExcellence

@DaveTapsell @ECockerell @TimAldridgeDCS @BeverleyHALLIG2 @JaniceBarnby @YvetteStanley18 @nickpendry1 I think it’s important that we come from the position of compassion & having a safe space to share reflections and ideas together. Taking into account our own biases and respecting difference as we are all shaped by our experiences

@BeverleyHALLIG2 @ECockerell @DaveTapsell @TimAldridgeDCS @YvetteStanley18 @nickpendry1 @JudithOBennett Totally agree - modelling relationships, containing anxiety, conveying hope is so important #JourneyToExcellence

@ECockerell @DaveTapsell @TimAldridgeDCS @JaniceBarnby @YvetteStanley18 @nickpendry1 Always struck by the way in which the quality of supervision is reflected in the relationship social workers develop with the families they work with #JourneyToExcellence @JudithOBennett @JaniceBarnby
