About this Event

Course dates: Tue 21 May and Tue 28 May 24, 10am - 4pm each session

Course Overview

One of the most common comments we hear when working with staff on support and supervision is that it has become very task focused. This course looks to even out this imbalance.

This online course is designed to encourage lots of discussions, sharing of ideas and learning from each other as well as direct input from the trainer. There will be a number of small group activities (yes we can have breakout groups online), various practice sessions and time for reflection and action planning will be built into the course.

We also make sure that you have enough comfort breaks for the top-ups of coffee etc.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course you will be able to:

Who should attend?

This course is aimed at people who have responsibility for offering one-to-one support and supervision to staff and/or volunteers. It is designed to meet the needs of those who are new to the role and those who would like to refresh or deepen their skills and knowledge.
