Our top-up workshop is suitable for supervisors who already have supervised at least one practitioner or group. The supervisor refresher workshop will follow similar content to the core skills workshop but with advanced discussion and more time to practice key skills. It will cover roadblocks and troubleshooting during supervision. It will allow supervisors to engage more deeply with the content. The focus is on embedding the core skills through self-reflection and self-practice.
