Supervision for Organisations
UPUTĀUA can work with organisations that want structured external supervision available to individuals, groups or teams as part of their professional practice.
External supervision
External supervision can provide staff with reflective space that sits outside their immediate management structure while remaining connected to professional responsibility and practice.
Individual and group arrangements
Supervision arrangements can be considered around the needs of the organisation, including individual professional supervision, cultural supervision and facilitated group supervision.
Built around the working environment
Different organisations face different pressures. The supervision arrangement should reflect the work people actually perform rather than forcing every team into the same format.
