Attendee feedback

'Videos were excellent and really enjoyed hearing from the different speakers.'

'Very relevant, I like the recognition of lived experience as not a negative thing.'

'I liked the specific examples provided. Was great for me to think how this can be transferred to my role.'

'It was very insightful and thankful that this is now being pushed in our sector and an ongoing practice and improvement. It has given me the confidence to move forward with tools to support a new team.'

'I found Steven's insights very useful, in particular the discussion around the supervisee holding responsibility for the shape and direction of their own supervision sessions as well as discussion around supervision being of value to organisations in terms of developing a learning and growth culture within organisations. I thought that was very powerful.'
