About the Seminar

The 3rd biennial Social Work Supervision Seminar aims to look at the current landscape and standardisation of Social Work supervision across contexts and sectors, and to move forward with a better-defined and more tangible plan with greater alignment among Social Workers.

​

Representatives from various sectors have been selected to look into their sectors to take stock of their current state of Social Work supervision, and identify their respective milestones, challenges, needs and future possibilities. These representatives will then act as champions for change and better synergy across the entire profession.

​
