Supervision
Supervision in our sector is less about oversight more about a relationship, ideally external to your organisation, that asks the question: how super is your vision or how well do you see the work you do?
The supervision relationship parallels the relationship we have with young people. Supervision provides youth workers with a safe place to reflect on professional development, personal support, organisational and practice issues, and to seek opportunities to increase effectiveness, safety and accountability within their practice.
The Code of Ethics requires that youth workers actively participate in regular supervision.
Ara Taiohi welcomes supervisors to share about their approach and credentials on the supervision database.
