Covid-19 - Social Work Supervision Policy

Access to professional supervision is essential for all social workers during the COVID-19 emergency. In keeping with decisions to relax existing standards to facilitate greater flexibility and maintain the delivery of essential services, Trusts and social work employers in other sectors may use this draft supervision policy to inform alternative arrangements for supervision even though it has not been fully consulted on.  The final draft of the policy will be usefully informed by social workers’ experiences of providing supervision in different ways during this time and a final consultation on the draft strategy will take place when normal business resumes.
