"As someone providing online supervision, I found Dr Anita Swanson’s tutorial a great refresher for my practice framework. The workbook provided opportunities to reflect on responsibilities within the supervisory relationship and how to provide what is needed for each individual. I found the inclusion of both theoretical and practical knowledge very helpful, and the key information was clearly summarised for future reference".
