Beyond supervision: shared sense-making and critical judgement in social work – 6.11.2019
2019-11-06 14:00 - 15:30 | Kingston University, Kingston Hill Campus
Supervision is recognised as a cornerstone of critical and reflexive social work practice. However, many social workers report infrequent and/or inadequate supervision and this is a concern which practitioners and academics alike are seeking to address. The question posed in this seminar is “what happens beyond supervision?” and, in particular, what part do informal interactions between peers play in professional practice?
Dr Duncan Helm is a senior lecturer in social work at the University of Stirling. With a practice background in child protection duty work and an academic interest in judgement and decision-making, Duncan has taught extensively on professional judgement (or sense-making) in conditions of uncertainty. His ethnographic research has cast new light on the role that informal interaction between colleagues and team members can play in social work practice. In this seminar, Duncan will present empirical data and a theoretical model of shared sense-making which can help students, practitioners and academics to articulate and work effectively with the influence of peers on professional judgement in social work.
Booking is essential.

2019-11-01 10:00 - 12:00 | Kingston University, Kingston Hill Campus
You are invited to attend this powerful and moving play that explores how a family is affected by a loved one living with Dementia. The play provides valuable learning for all those working in social work and social care across the whole spectrum of services, children and families, adults and mental health . The play captures a child’s perspective on how dementia affects their grandma but the play also highlights the complex emotions experienced across the whole family. This play will make you laugh, possibly cry but most importantly will provide a valuable insight into the experiences of those living with and affected by dementia.
There are both morning and afternoon performances. For partner agencies please email HSCE-events@sgul.kingston.ac.uk to book your place. Also for Practice Educators, please do come along with your students for a valuable learning experience.
