Subject: CSVs
Priority: normal
I'm interested in whether other people have experienced some of the
problems with student independent living projects that we have
experienced here at Cardiff and if so how these have been overcome
(or not). Here, the CSVs are "employed" by the student (as opposed to
the institution) and usually we don't know until the very last minute
who the CSVs will be and what their experience is likely to be. In
the past we have arranged training prior to the start of term which
some CSVs have been unable to attend because they hadn't been
assigned to the project in time We then have the conflict of
interest between supervising the CSVs as well as supporting the
student(s). Supervision is obviously time consuming on a one to one,
regular basis when you have, as we did once, eight CSVs and one
supervisor who had other responsibilities.
Has anyone out there tried group supervision? Who acts as
Supervisor? Is this person different to the person supporting the
student? Do you offer training and how/when do you structure it?
Have you ever charged for supervision or training? Do you think
there should be a charge? What kind of training do Supervisors in
your area receive from CSV? Do you feel it matches needs etc.
Sorry to have gone on!
