From supervision training to intervision learning?
****A reflection on changing the way I deliver training on reflective supervision
I have been delivering training for many years now and have always been more confident around outcomes in terms of some topics than others. One topic I have often been asked to deliver on is reflective supervision.

To what extent were supervisors able to use their learning over the coming months?

What could I do? When I was asked to work with a small number of students as a practice educator in a virtual capacity I jumped at the opportunity.
