Supervision & Appraisal
Course Outline
As a manager in a health or social care setting, supervision is an important element of your role both as something you offer to your staff and as an important tool for your own professional development and support. Supervision is an essential element of workplace learning and as such, an extremely positive model for practice development. It can also be regarded as surveillance and monitoring giving observable evidence for the performance of teams and individuals. Supervision may identify shortfalls in performance and this may lead to the need for disciplinary action.
