Strengthening Supervision for the Social Service Workforce

This document represents the work of the Global Social Service Workforce Alliance (Alliance) Supervision Interest Group (SIG). As a global network, the Alliance convenes individuals and organizations across stakeholder groups to advance knowledge on the latest trends, share innovative practices to overcome challenges, and devise tools to address gaps affecting the social service workforce. We support the work of task-focused and result-oriented groups of Alliance members to share expertise and interest in thematic topic areas. Given the increasing interest of Alliance members on the topic of supervision and the social service workforce, the Alliance мestablished the Supervision Interest Group in March 2020. This document is a result of their efforts to review existing resources and develop guidance for strengthening planning, development and support for supervision of the social service workforce. As this is a first version with plans for future additions, we hope that after reviewing and using this document, you will share with us additional ways it can become more relevant and applicable to different contexts. We would also like to hear from you on how it has impacted your work and strengthened supervision in your organization.
