Strengthening Adoption Practice Through Effective Supervision (a workshop for Team Managers) – Short and Smart Session – 1HR

Who this is for

Adoption Team Managers

Details

Effective supervision is one of the most powerful tools adoption team managers have to support practitioners, strengthen decision making and improve outcomes for children and families that they work with. In the emotionally demanding world of adoption, high quality supervision creates the space for reflection, professional curiosity, accountability and staff wellbeing.

In this practical one hour workshop, Emma Simpson, CEO of CCS Adoption and an experienced social work leader, will explore how team managers can make the most of supervision, moving beyond case oversight to develop confident, resilient practitioners who feel supported to navigate complex issues. Drawing on leadership experience and examples from adoption practice, Emma will share practical approaches that can be implemented immediately.

Whether you are new to management or an experienced team manager, this session will provide fresh ideas to help you strengthen your practice and confidence in team leadership.
