“…The results are also more positive about the experience of reflective supervision than Rankine et al (2018). The reason for this is likely due to the widespread participation in external supervision, which ensures that NGO supervisees were supported and had space to reflect on their well-being and professional development (Rankine, 2019).…”

INTRODUCTION: This article examines the supervisory experiences and views of registered social workers across the practice areas of statutory services, health and non-government organisations (NGOs.) The article aims to establish a baseline for supervision across areas of practice in Aotearoa New Zealand and discuss the implications any differences have for the supervision of registered social workers.METHODS: Demographic data from 266 postal survey respondents was descriptively analysed. A one-way ANOVA and Tamhane T2 post hoc tests were applied using IBM SPSS 24 to explore variances in means for the independent variable of Area of Practice across 10 scales about the respondents’ supervision experiences.FINDINGS: Differences were identified in the workforce profile of each area, and there were significant differences in supervisees’ experiences of supervision across areas of practice which reflected each area’s different supervision culture, policy, and practices. The findings show that supervision in health and NGO areas was more professional, clinical, cultural, reflective and involved more positive content within a more constructive supervision climate than supervision in the statutory area.CONCLUSIONS: A significant difference was found between the quality of supervision experienced by social workers in health and NGOs and their statutory social work colleagues. This needs to be addressed through changing the supervision climate, developing supervisor capability and the uncluttering of supervision through separating professional/clinical supervision from line management. This study provides a foundation for further research that compares supervision across practice areas.

“…Social workers tend to reach out to other sources in order to continue their professional development. Internal supervision emphasizes the administrative function and there is usually less emphasis on professional development of social workers (Rankine, 2019). These conditions might make outsource training more appealing.…”

Objective: This study aims to assess the supervision needs of social workers in various social work institutions in Türkiye based on three functions of supervision (administrative, educational and supportive). Material and Methods: The study used a phenomenological approach. Two focus group interviews were conducted. Each group consisted of six social workers from different social work fields. Data collection tools consisted of a “Personal Information Form” and a “Semi-structured Interview Form”. Data were analyzed with thematic analysis method using the MAXQDA 2020 program. Results and Conclusion: The analysis of the study were based on social workers’ opinions on supervision and their experiences about administrative, educational and supportive functions of supervision. The results supported the notion that there is a need for supervision at the institutional level for social workers. These findings are important in terms of providing some insight on how social workers define supervision and through which functions they need institutional supervision. As a result, the employer institutions and organizations are recommended to establish a formal, structured, institutional and systematic supervision system for social workers.

“…A supervisão administrativa em PPCJ é, habitualmente, desempenhada por um supervisor interno que, segundo Rankine (2019), se foca maioritariamente nas necessidades da organização e menos no desenvolvimento do profissional, na promoção da sua reflexão crítica e no desenvolvimento de estratégias alternativas de compreensão do caso e objetivos e modalidades de intervenção. Jarrett e Barlow (2014)…”

Contexto: As especificidades dos sistemas de promoção e proteção de crianças e jovens exercem um grande impacto no profissional e, consequentemente, no trabalho com as famílias, pelo que a supervisão clínica se constitui como um forte aliado na promoção do bem-estar e proficiência dos profissionais. Objetivo: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo principal realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre a adequabilidade dos modelos de supervisão às especificidades do contexto de promoção e proteção de crianças e jovens, tendo em conta as funções de supervisão, modelos de supervisão e desafios do contexto. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão narrativa através da pesquisa de palavras-chave, leitura dos resumos de artigos encontrados e posterior leitura na integra dos artigos que se adequaram ao tema definido. Foram analisados artigos sobre supervisão e supervisão clínica em contextos sociais e de promoção e proteção de crianças e jovens. Resultados: Predomina a utilização de um modelo de supervisão de abordagem única ou de modelos ecléticos com abordagens teóricas divergentes entre si e que não atendem à complexidade dos sistemas familiares sinalizados. Conclusões: Defende-se um modelo com um referencial de leitura integrativo, mas, fundamentalmente, apoiado numa visão ecossistémica do mal trato da criança e do funcionamento familiar, que tenha conhecimento dos procedimentos da instituição e que promova um apoio efetivo ao profissional. Mais estudos devem ser realizados tendo em vista avaliar a influência efetiva da supervisão na prática do profissional com as famílias e a identificação das caraterísticas dos modelos que os tornam eficazes em promoção e proteção.
