Acceptable Risk?: Supervision in Child Abuse Cases

Synopsis

The video, containing over 60 trigger scenes, has been devised to show mirroring at work in trios of interaction at three levels - client-social worker, social worker-supervisor, supervisor-manager. It draws on the thinking of an advisory group who identified contentious issues in supervision in child abuse cases arising from mirroring.
