There are many ways of offering and receiving supervision, and each relationship will benefit from an array of styles depending on circumstances. Sam Simpson and Cathy Sparkes summarise three models of supervision – a functions model, a developmental model and a tasks model. They then consider barriers to supervision and why, even when conditions are optimal, it can be difficult to access it. Finally they reflect on the history of supervision in the speech and language therapy profession and the need for a cultural shift to embed it in practice.
