Sadly though supervisions focus within local authorities remains firmly focused on performance not reflective practice. As a manager my experience was not positive and whilst I tried to support and have the back of my colleagues this was often difficult in a top down climate where performance and compliance take centre stage and are used as beating sticks against people who put purpose before process. We know process has it’s place but the rhetoric around relational practice in most local authorities is not how it manifests in practice….so it’s nice to here that one person truly had such a great impact relationally on another
