Supervision and Mentoring

Despite the recognition highlighted by Lord Laming, Professor Munro and many others, affective supervision is still not always available to staff. 

Effective supervision has many benefits. By using the professionals experience, supervision can help them reflect on that experience, analyse it, and then implement plans or a course of action.

Lord Laming’s 2009 review of child protection in England, Professor Eileen Munro’s interim report on safeguarding and the final report of the Social Work Task Force all championed the use of effective supervision as a means of improving decision-making, accountability, and supporting professional development among social workers.

And in the General Social Care Council’s judgment on the social workers involved in the Baby P case, team manager Gillie Christou’s failure to keep proper supervision records was a key issue in her suspension.

Being able to reflect on safeguarding issues or explore in a ‘safe’ environment the challenges that a induvial can face while undertaking their duties will help reduce their anxiety and provide further quality assurance to their work. 

Marie Collins Foundation have staff experienced and qualified in providing supervision.
