WORKSHOP 2: Supervision through a complaint process
19 June 2024 1 – 4.30 pm
Fran Vertue
We all dread the possibility of a complaint, and our first response is often to turn to our supervisor for help. However, as supervisors, we may be unsure how best to support our supervisees. This seminar, led by Fran, will focus on what psychologists have experienced in supervision when a complaint has been made about their work, and how supervisors can best assist their supervisees through the process. Fran will present the data from a research project she has conducted with supervisees and supervisors who have been involved in a complaint process.
