Programme overview

This course is part of our Supervising Social Worker Skills course programme.

The programme is designed to strengthen the knowledge, skills, and professional judgement of Supervising Social Workers (SSWs) working within fostering services. Across four practice-focused sessions, participants will explore their statutory and professional responsibilities, develop effective supervision and support strategies for foster carers, and enhance their ability to promote positive outcomes for children in care.

The course places a strong emphasis on reflective and analytical practice, professional curiosity, safeguarding, and trauma-informed approaches. Participants will consider how to work effectively with foster carers and the wider fostering household, ensure the voice of the child is central to decision-making, manage risk and monitor outcomes to inform care planning and supervision.

Through a combination of discussion, case examples, reflective exercises, and skills-based learning, Supervising Social Workers will consolidate their practice, increase confidence in managing risk and complex situations, and identify their own ongoing supervision and development needs.

 

The programme consists of the following four practice focused sessions:

  1. Supervision Foundations and Professional Responsibilities
  2. Foster Carer Reviews, Safeguarding and Analysis
  3. Protective Care, the fostering household and the child’s voice
  4. Outcomes, Trauma-Informed Practice, and Consolidation
