Professional Support and Supervision

Independent social work advice and support

I provide a high quality professional social work supervision service for Social Workers and Social Work Employers. High quality professional social work supervision is crucial, and employers of social workers must adhere to ‘The Standards for Employers of Social Workers in England 2020’. Qualified social workers must meet their Social Work England professional standards including re-registration requirements.

Why you should contact me for professional social work supervision:

I am a highly qualified, skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced social worker, who understands the social care arena including the pressures and challenges.
I can offer a formal process for social workers to evidence that they continue to meet Social Work England ‘Professional Standards’.
I provide a formal process whereby social workers can evidence, that they are continually improving the quality of their practice and future service delivery, by reflection and analysis of their ongoing social work practice in a safe learning environment.

In addition to professional supervision, I provide affordable continuous professional development to help social workers meet their Social Work England requirements including peer reflection.

I also recognise that working in social care can sometimes feel lonely, stressful, and negatively impact your physical health and wellbeing. If you are struggling with a challenging workplace situation, I can help providing independent objective advice and support to help you survive and positively examine your options going forward.

“Susan communicated well within her emails, via zoom and in person, what the expectations of me were, and I always had an understanding of what needed to be completed.”
