Do you see any challenges in any of the specific buckets?

4. Agenda 3:00 – 3:30 -- Break into groups Define C.A.S.E. categories

Need to check with Cathy about whether she wants a deep dive on Perf Management. Generation of concrete tools?? Uniform or harmonized across the agency?
Or brainstorm a generic approach to templates?

5. What is Supervision? Supervision involves:
Mentoring, monitoring, teaching, supporting and evaluating
Accountability/responsibility – for both supervisor & supervisee - involves: Professional Development , Performance Management (competencies), Quality Assurance and Risk Management

6. Why is supervision important?
Quality agency work requires
Competent staff, which require a
Quality system of ongoing learning, support and accountability, which requires
Quality processes and structures within the organization and
Quality oversight by a person in authority,
Which depends on high quality CASE-based supervision
Quality agency work: regardless of what you do

7. EIPs and Supervision?
Training in evidence-informed practice is necessary but not sufficient to improve (client) outcomes (Dorsey et al, 2013)
Developing (clinical) competencies in EIPs requires ongoing supervision and support (Falender & Shafranske, 2012) – How much do you really know after two days of training…. ?
Supervisors have significant influence on service providers/frontline staff and have lower rates of turnover (Dorsey et al, 2013)
Essential to invest in supervision and the ongoing educational support of supervisors. The clinical depth across the supervisor team is a cornerstone for overall agency strength and quality client work.
Clinical services rely on the contributions and quality of supervisors
Need to invest in this level …
Very significant quality control mechanisms – and this is where ratios come in to play

8. E S A C MP slide lead – 16 to 32 Which leads us to the CASE model
When we started, we developed this for clinical supervision but realized that the model has broader application.
Our colleague, Diane, came up with the idea of calling the core elements ‘buckets’, and she colour coded the components

9. Four Bucket Model of Supervision (adapted from A
Four Bucket Model of Supervision (adapted from A. Kadushin (1992, 2002))
Clinical – application of skills to cases; part of learning framework
Administrative – administer, organize & control the bureaucracy
Supportive - mitigate the stress, care for the caregiver (not therapy)
Evaluative – measure outcomes, evaluate performance, performance management
We adapted this idea from Kadushin.
We’ll go through each of the ‘buckets’ in more detail, but to first give you the overview…
Content = subject matter expertise? Ongoing learning, developing your craft, continuous learning – context changes, field is learning, new innovations, sector/legislative changes,

10. How it is all connected ….
Client
Clinician
Outcome
Clinical
Admin
This visual gives you an idea of the big picture and how the model connects together.
Fundamentally, we are working in the service of clients – whether we work directly in clinical, child welfare, youth justice or early years; or whether we work indirectly to support the service, in IT, finance, admin, and so forth.
And our chief aim to is provide effective, high quality services. We are all in helping professions - the outcomes of our professions are typically to improve well being, or healthy child development, or to support family functioning, etc.
