I have been doing some work with the lovely people at Care for the Carers charity in Eastbourne. One of the areas for discussion has been good practice in supervising and appraising staff – as promised I’m posting my materials and various others bits and bobs here.

First off, here are slides which have combined both sessions – there all here. There is also a link to the Non-Violent Communicationsite and a downloadable version of my truncated version of the NVC model which sidesteps feelings. I also attach a starting or reviewing supervision document which aims to support managers in beginning a supervisory relationships or perhaps breathing new life into it. It was produce by the Brief Consultancy and we used it on the manager session. It wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea but proved a useful bouncing off point and the managers produced their own list, which was gold dust.

There were a couple of things which I didn’t use. The first is a supervision scaling exercise to help people identify what and how they would like to develop in the their performance, the second is a format for having difficult conversations in supervision sessions.

 Hope that’s useful.
