Supervision in different contexts: Internal vs external
An awareness of context is an important consideration for any supervisor. Whether you are providing supervision within your organisation or on an external basis, or a combination of the two, having an awareness of the differences in context and the impact of these will help you to develop and maintain an effective supervisory alliance.
This course is designed to provide you with the key skills and knowledge to understand the particular advantages and challenges that can arise from supervising in-house compared with an external or self-employed supervisor, and help you to make the most of opportunities and anticipate and manage challenges.
