Management and Supervision
What is Supervision?
The purpose of this essay is to find out what is supervision. The theories behind it and why. The types of people who manage it, also looking at the emotional intelligence. Discovering what the Legislations are and find out what Care Standards say. Also taking a look at the codes of conduct and any group studies. I will also be quoting some suitable quotes and explaining then. Finally I will give you my conclusion and final thoughts on supervision.
Firstly we ask ourselves what is supervision. Well formal supervisory meetings are an opportunity for discussing your progress, describing your findings, and alerting your manager to any problems. These meetings are an important part of your relationship with your manager and will play a big role in shaping how effective that relationship is; so it is important that we spend some time thinking about what we can do to make these meetings as constructive as possible.
We should recognize the crucial role that supervision plays in the development of a skilled, accountable and supported workforce. It is an essential requirement for the delivery of high quality and effective services to the service users. Regular, planned and competent supervision is both a right and a requirement for all members of staff working within the home. As such, all staff will have a named supervisor with whom they will have an explicit agreement regarding their supervision and a negotiated contract. All staff employed by the care home should be supervised on a regular basis. All staff will receive an annual supervision.
A broad definition of supervision states that;
‘Supervision is both a process and an activity in which one worker is given the responsibility by the organization to work with another worker(s) in order to achieve certain organizational, professional and personal objectives’ (Morrison, 2001)
Supervision of staff is undertaken by the Care Home managers to provide a caring and supportive work
