Personality disorder programme No longer a diagnosis of exclusion

It would be hard to think of a time when the role of staff supervision was more important in supporting and developing staff to deliver high quality complex services in the context of external regulation, organisational change and budgetary pressures. More than ever staff across health and social care, adult and children’s services, statutory and voluntary sectors need credible knowledge, practical frameworks, and road tested tools to maintain reflective supervision in a regulated climate.

In making the supervisory partnership work supervisors and supervisees need to know how supervision can make a vital difference both to staff and to service users. The bond of public trust between professionals and society’s most vulnerable members must be anchored in an assurance that their worker is accountable, supported and supervised. No longer therefore is it sufficient to train supervisors alone. There is increasing recognition of the role, responsibility and skills required of the supervisee in being a positive partner in the supervisory alliance and being active in the pursuit of their own professional development.
