WORKSHOP OVERVIEW : SUPER – VISION & SUPER - VISING

CONSTRUCTING A SUPERVISION APPROACH BASED IN A NARRATIVE PERSPECTIVE:

November:Thursday 15th & Friday 16th 2012 With Marilyn O’Neill

Mary Denese-Holmes  & Marilyn O'Neill have provided supervision for colleagues in many different spaces over many years.

A Narrative Perspective informs their work, as does the learning from many conversations with colleagues.

In recent times Marilyn and Mary-Denese have become very interested in the question of  'what constitutes good supervision'.

Mary Denese has been exploring this for some time and Marilyn has previously presented ∓ written on supervision with Gaye Stockell.

This workshop seems pertinent, at this time, as the requirements for formalised supervision by professional bodies increase.

The number of hours and qualifications of supervisors is also starting to be regulated.

Please join us as we consider being supervisors and / or supervisees.

This can assist you to develop ideas on what want in the way of support for your own work and what is relevant to providing useful support to colleagues seeking supervision.

The Narrative Perspective for supervision has been deemed useful by those who employ narrative ideas and for those who are informed by other frameworks.

Participants will join in deconstructions, discussions and the considerations.

They will, practice supervision conversations and reflect on demonstrations.

Please join us to develop your ideas on supervision and to use the ideas of a Narrative Perspective to develop an approach that offers support for both the personal and professional.

Professional who are supervised in these ways report that they not only find the approach refreshing but their identity is more robust, their work is more satisfying, and their ethics and values are well represented in their practice.

Marilyn O’Neill has worked with narrative colleagues for over 20 years as they developed ways of providing supervision.

The approach they have developed has supported both teams and individuals. Their ideas have developed over that time and have been presented at conferences.

This workshop will assist participants to use the ideas of a Narrative Perspective to develop a supervision approach that offers support for both the personal and professional.

Professionals who are supervised in these ways report that they not only find the approach refreshing but their identity is more robust, their work is more satisfying, and their ethics and values are well represented in their practice.

The training will:

• Develop the skills of deconstructing for supervision consultations
• Articulate preferences for supervision
• Discuss the question of what is really good supervision and what does it offer?
• Develop practices for supervision that fit with hopes and expectations of the supervisee, the supervisor and considers the organisations perspective
• Consider implicit and explicit power relations in a supervision relationship
• Learn about Prismatic Interviewing and Co-Research as skills for supervision
• Look at ethics and accountability as a process in supervision
• Review some more recent ideas for supervision such as reflecting teams
• Outsider witness teams. (Also great for group supervisions)
• Explore the dilemmas that might arise in supervision and responses that might be more or less helpful
• Discuss issues of accountability and who supports the supervisor

We are proposing an interactive and enjoyable learning process. This will include Demonstrations, practice and possibly video.
