THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPERVISION FOR HIGH-QUALITY WORK WITH THE CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILIES IN THE SYSTEM OF SOCIAL WELFARE
Marina Ajduković
Abstract
The introductory part of the paper analyses the most recent definition of supervision by the Association of National Organisations for Supervision of Europe (ANSE). It also estimates the progress achieved in the area of supervision in Croatia during this decade, and lists the strategic documents of the Government of the Republic of Croatia that emphasise the importance of the introduction of supervision into the work with the children and the youth. The author additionally points out the significance of supervision for those who work with families in which violence is present, or which are influenced by other social risks. Every professional who performs this responsible job has the right to a professional support in order to fulfil his or her role in the best possible manner, and in order to feel good in that role. Supervision is a crucial means to achieve both.
