The Best Practice Supervision Guidelines were created to really provide that foundation for what best practice looks like, across all of the sectors family violence, sexual assault and child wellbeing, and to provide examples so that practitioners can understand how they might undertake supervision and how they might practice as a result of that.
Lots of members have been involved in providing input to the supervision guidelines. The training resources, the materials you see have all been developed collaboratively right across the sector with lots of industry and practice input.
Having best practice guidelines means that organisations can draw on them, and the time and energy that they might have used to develop that can go into something else important. And it means we've got consistency so that wherever you work and potentially wherever you are as a client, you know the frameworks that people are using are good enough.
I think the main benefits of having the supervision guidelines are consistency, worker wellbeing, the confidence in practice, the capability uplift and the professional development that supports practitioners to do their jobs for clients better. We hope that these guidelines really set the standard for supervision across the sectors.
They help practitioners to be able to see what's required of them and really guide and support building their practice into the future.
