Lots of lovely designs, cast an eye over the website!

Great to hear the importance of Professional Supervision being highlighted at NRCPD's Reflective Practice and Support Pathways CPD event today @labyrinthspv @360supervision

@TazHoc Looking forward to reading this Taz!

I have received a great Christmas present ... My first journal article has been published in Interpreting and Society! It is a rewrite of my MSc dissertation on how hearing people feel about working with sign language interpreters in the workplace. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/27…

Delighted to receive copies of #SupervisioninSpeechandLanguageTherapy today. Huge thanks to everyone involved in making the book a reality. Such a joy to see it out in the world & curious about its impact on #supervision culture & practice going forward routledge.com/Supervision-in…

Boundaries are a frequent topic of discussion in supervision sessions and I am a huge fan of saying a clear 'no'. Overexplaining or justifying opens the door for people to try and change your mind.

@charlhyde @oldenoughtosay I like 'I'm surprised you think it's okay to say that out loud' as a response 😁

@IoCN_1 Radical rest, love it!

A few words of wisdom, reminding us to prioritise self care and maybe even radical rest.

@dan_alun @bslinterpreter @SelinaJBSL I didn't use anything technical! Big piles of books everywhere, lots of post it notes in different colours 🙈

@DarrenNeilAdams Darren, you have used Labyrinth Supervision's website wording to advertise your professional supervision services. Please take it down immediately and create your own content. You should have more integrity.

@BSLterplife A long time ago, but I still recall signing insect day instead of INSET day 🙈

All this talk of the GOAT athletes is triggering the horrific memory of when I spent 15 minutes trying to work out why the hearing person was talking about goats and using the sign for 🐐 to a very confused deaf student 🫠 We've all been there, what's been your worst mis-hear?

@FionaBowler Inka the Tinker. Vet confirmed he is chipped. Owner is 10 doors up the road but Inka likes life at mine. Also blags the entire street for food, including a great 'I've got a poorly paw' routine (he hasn't).

This comes up in supervision on a regular basis...supervisees struggling to say 'no' to work, even when they are burnt out and exhausted.

@NicolaFA @BSLterplife @NRCPD Whilst it will be great to see continued growth of Professional Supervisors from the interpreter/translator/lipspeaker ranks, individuals can choose a supervisor from outwith their profession, e.g., engage someone from the counselling field.

Here's an unsolicited idea: Make professional supervision (6 x a year) mandatory, introduce twice yearly in-work observations from qualified assessors for *all* registrants, and reduce general CPD requirements to 12 points per year. What do you think, @NRCPD?

Just because you can fill your work diary doesn't mean you have to. Set aside some time for yourself and honour it.

@natalyadell @DeafMatters @ASLIuk Drop me a line Natalya and I will try and find it. Warning...like me, it's old!

@DeafMatters @drjulesd1 @ASLIuk I will email Dr Jules and see if I can gakk a copy as I was very much thinking of the professional training Terps/STTRs/ENTs/Lipspeakers have and apply and how lower-paid/trained support workers don't have those ethics BANGED into them as well.

Do any of you lot know of any guidance for disabled people working with support workers and how to set and hold expectations, boundaries, things like "don't talk for me" "don't chat to my clients/colleagues" kinds of things. Cos if not I may have to write such a thing myself.
