Good Practice in Supervision: Statutory and Voluntary Organisations

Offering a new and much needed approach to supervision practice, Good Practice in Supervision considers the need and format for successful supervision, methods of effective implementation, particular difficulties and problems frequently encountered, and anti-discriminatory practice. Throughout the book, there are many practical suggestions and examples which complement the sound theoretical base of the text. The contributors are drawn from a wide variety of settings, in both the voluntary and statutory sectors, and offer a range of approaches and perspectives. Discussion covers, among other topics, work with older people, court welfare supervision, students, and child protection. Such a thorough and important book addresses issues until now often overlooked.
