Robin and Joan have been running supervision training for over forty years, and have watched how the field has changed and developed over that time. Robin was instrumental in the setting up of the Independent Practitioners Network in the mid 90s and sees the need for a similar network specifically for supervisors. In this event, we shared our ideas about why we thought such a network was important and invited the chat room to share their views on how we could take it forward.
Robin Shohet and Joan Wilmot have been running supervision courses since 1979.
