Abstract

Key points:

- Supervision is an essential component of practice in social work and social care, not just for frontline staff, but at all levels in an organisation.
- Effective supervision provides a safe space for workers to reflect on their practice, as well as to develop skills and knowledge.
- The delivery of supervision is heavily dependent on the organisational context.
- While the evidence base on supervision is limited, the available evidence points to good supervision being associated with job satisfaction, organisational commitment and retention of staff.
- The dynamics of supervision can be extremely complex, and delivering effective supervision is a skilled task which requires support and training for supervisors.
