Aim: To continue to develop practitioners’ skills in reflective supervision
Target Audience:
Practitioners and Supervisors across LLR with safeguarding responsibilities, e.g. Designated Safeguarding Leads.
This Multi-Agency Reflective Skills Training course is designed to strengthen the skills
of practitioners and supervisors with safeguarding responsibilities by developing a
greater collective understanding of the core components of good reflective supervision.
It will enable learners to recognise how reflective supervision can make a real
difference to staff and crucially the children, young people and families they work with
and give them an opportunity to practice reflective supervision skills in a safe and
supportive learning environment. It is also intended to support a sense of multi-agency
collaborative working and focus on the child in safeguarding practice. This in turn
increases the learners’ confidence to professionally challenge colleagues across
agencies.
