/in , /by

Dear Members,

As you may be aware, the Federation is a member of the Social Services Sector Roundtable and participates in a number of the Roundtable’s committees as well as its Reference Group. It is in this capacity that we are sharing the information and request below.

The Social Services Sector Roundtable Reference Group is excited to announce the launch of an important initiative to strengthen supervisory capacity in the social services sector. As part of the Supervisor Training Project for Social Care, we aim to develop a comprehensive, sector-specific training program tailored to the needs of social services supervisors. This initiative is funded by the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction and guided by insights from the Social Services Labour Market Research Project.

How You Can Help:

Your agency’s insights are invaluable to ensuring this training addresses the challenges and opportunities facing supervisors today. To gather this input, we have created a brief survey to help shape the curriculum, delivery methods, and other critical aspects of this project.

Survey Details:

Estimated Time: 10–15 minutes

Purpose: To gather information on the essential skills and competencies supervisors need and preferences on training formats and scheduling.

Deadline: December 20, 2024

Please forward this survey to relevant supervisors and team members who can share perspectives on what will make this training most beneficial to your agency and others across the sector.

Your input will directly impact the development of a long-term supervisory training strategy, helping us address sector-specific challenges and create sustainable career growth opportunities for supervisors.

Thank you in advance,
