Indicative Module Content:
CREATING AND KEEPING LOGBOOK AND JOURNAL RECORDS OF SUPERVISION
It is the responsibility of the supervisee to keep a logbook of the clinical work and a journal of supervision sessions.
The Logbook and journal are shown to the Supervisor both throughout supervision and at the end of the year, (this records client sessions - no identifying information used). These are formally examined at the end of the Spring Trimester as part of the Supervisor Assessment. More details are provided below on what information is required in the log book
GROUP RETRO SUPERVISION SESSIONS
The format of group supervision will vary based on individual and team needs; supervisor styles and stage of professional training. The focus in the class is to give each student over the course of the year an opportunity to present their work and to consider key relational and systemic issues connected to an aspect of a case. It also provides an opportunity for students to further develop supervisory and reflective skills

This is an opportunity for each group member to identify and through a brief multiple case synthesis present a ‘learning edge’ that they believe has developed since they began independent practice. A learning edge is an area identified by the student as something that they wanted to develop/ work on/ address. This may have been identified in your live teams context and/or with your retro-supervisor
