During Supervision Sessions: – Utilize standardized supervision templates covering performance indicators, strengths, areas for improvement, and specific goal setting. – Review documented service logs, client feedback, and incident reports as evidence of performance. – Discuss any observed challenges in direct care delivery and collaborate on strategies for improvement. 3. Documentation: – Supervisors are required to complete a written supervision report after each session, capturing key discussion points, agreed action items, and follow-up dates. – All reports are securely stored in the employee’s digital record within the centralized HR system. 4. Follow-Up: – A follow-up plan is created for staff requiring improvement; additional check ‑ ins are scheduled and progress is documented rigorously.
