Our Model of Supervision
The Mulberry Bush Outreach model of reflective supervision is based on that developed by Tony Morrison (2006) and has four key functions:
1. Management
2. Development
3. Support
4. Mediation
Reflective supervision should be viewed as part of professional development and therefore as a requirement of practice. It is not therapy or counselling although it is an opportunity to reflect on oneself
Principles of Outreach reflective supervision:
1. sits at the heart of our work, linking practice, research and training
2. deepens and broadens worker’s knowledge and critical analysis skills
3. enables confident, competent,creative and independent decision-making
4. help workers to build clear plans that seek to enable positive change for children and families
5. creates a relationship that helps staff feel valued, supported and motivated
6. supports the devlopment of worker’s emotional resilience and self-awareness
7. promotes a learning culture within the organisation

Benefits of reflective supervision:
The introduction of supervision models often causes anxieties and leads professionals to feel they have no need for supervision, no time available or no budget – or all three! However, The Mulberry Bush Outreach strongly believe, based on research, experience and anecdotal evidence, that supervision models can:
- improve staff well-being, leading to reduced sickness and so financial savings!
- develop staff knowledge and critical analysis skills
- enhance your understanding of those you are working with, leading to better outcomes
- increases the ability to move away from crises management to planned responses; saving time
This is why we offer individual and group supervision to meet the needs of your organisation.
