| Synopsis: |
"This excellent book is a back to basics reminder of the fundamentals of supervision. It provides an easy to read guide to improve and strengthen the essential yet sometimes neglected supervision process ... One particular strength are the good-practice checklists in each chapter; they summarise what is core and crucial to the effectiveness of supervision, provides useful examples of practice and a `what to do' list of actions." Sofie Franklin, Child Protection Social Worker, UK"This book shows how reflection and critical analysis should be at the heart of good supervision and explains why this is not always achieved. More importantly, it goes on to inform readers on how to get the most out of supervision with examples of good practice. Personally, I have found the book to be most helpful as part of my own early professional development."Gary Law, Children and Young People in Care Social Worker, Bury Local Authority, UK"In this accessible and comprehensive book, Bill McKitterick brings his wealth of professional experience to bear, reinvigorating professional supervision in social work and reinstating its place at the heart of practice.
