How to Evidence Reflective Supervision in Tenders
Share
Reflective supervision helps staff link experience to insight. It creates safer, more thoughtful care — and strong tender evidence. But only if you can explain what makes your approach reflective in the first place.
💬 What Is Reflective Supervision?
It’s not just about reviewing tasks or compliance. Reflective supervision encourages staff to:
- Think about how they made decisions
- Explore feelings or uncertainties safely
- Learn from what went well — and what didn’t
This supports confident, values-led practice that aligns with person-centred care and PBS models.
📄 In Tenders, Say This:
Commissioners want to know:
- How often supervision happens
- How reflective techniques are embedded (e.g. open questioning, active listening)
- How supervision impacts support delivery and team learning
Don’t just say “reflective supervision” — show how you do it and how it leads to better outcomes for the people you support.
✅ Tip: Use Evidence
If possible, include:
- Examples of decisions improved through reflection
- Quotes from staff about the value of supervision
- Changes made to care plans or approaches as a result
