Abstract: The importance of supervision for social work practice is widely accepted. This paper focuses on one type of supervision: systemic group supervision or “systemic supervision”. Systemic social work practice is generally a group-based, multi-disciplinary model of service delivery that aims to work therapeutically with the whole family. Central to this model is the use of systemically-informed group supervision. This has been shown to impact positively on the quality of direct practice with families, but what is it about this type of supervision that supports frontline practitioners to practice more skillfully?
