This page is designed to answer the following questions:
- 3.6 Record agreed supervision decisions (Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care, Professional development, supervision and performance management)
NOTE: This page has been quality assured for 2023 as per our Quality Assurance policy.
All discussions during a supervision session, along with any actions agreed must be recorded. Actions must be clear and have set timescales so that both the supervisee and supervisor understand their responsibilities and accountabilities.
Your organisation will have documented policies and procedures about how supervision notes should be recorded and stored. For example, this could be a paper-based or computer-based system.
Consideration should be taken about ways in which supervision notes can be recorded that involve and can be owned by the supervisee. The supervisee should understand that supervision is for their benefit as well as the organisation that they work for and there should be a mutual commitment to achieving the outcomes. For example, the supervisee’s personal development plan may be accessible to them at any time via a secure digital system so that they are able to update their progress towards their goals.
Similarly, agreed actions should be easily accessible to both supervisor and supervisee so that they can be referred to during the next supervision.
