------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- From: Caryl Davies <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Date: Thu, 10 Jul 1997 09:36:43 GMT 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! Caryl Davies Student Adviser(Disabilities/Special Needs) University of Wales, Cardiff.
