Conceptualising Social Development Supervision in Social Work

Mpumelelo Ncube

Abstract


Social work supervision is primarily based on the application of practice and is focused on providing educational, supportive and administrative guidance to supervisees. Social development underpinnings, which form the basis for social welfare interventions in South Africa, are not reflected in social work supervision and practice. The researcher uses phenomenology to understand how social work supervision models could be enhanced to incorporate elements of social development. Through thematic analysis, the author conceptualises a framework for social work supervision that is informed by a social development practice approach. The article ends with a conceptual model of social development supervision in social work.
