About this webinar:
This session will present the findings from a supervision competency quality assurance study undertaken by an Australian national provider of relationship support services. Part of a larger strategic plan for engaging and empowering supervisors and supervisees in cultivating a culture of critical reflection, all supervisors recorded their supervision practice and sessions were evaluated using the GSAT supervisor, supervisee, and evaluator tools. The GSAT is a useful tool for both researchers and practitioners. This webinar will explore the organisational context, implementation, findings, benefits and challenges of embedding supervision competency assessments in everyday practice. CSRC Collaborators will receive the Zoom link via email prior to the webinar.
