About this event

WCF Educational Psychology service are offering professional group supervision sessions for school-based DSLs, delivered virtually via MS Teams, with 6 sessions in total one each half term.

What is group supervision?
Group supervision sessions provide support, guidance and the opportunity for reflection within your professional role as a DSL. Supervision with an educational psychologist offers a space for targeted reflection and support processing work-based situations and events. It offers the opportunity to de-brief and think constructively about different areas of the role and using group process facilitation, it supports the attendees to develop solutions and actions that can be applied to specific casework.

Supervision supports the development of effective practice, personal self-growth and professional development in the workplace.
