Abstract:
In the present article, we describe an analysis of the supervision structures of Catalonia’s Basic Social Services (BSS) and the strategic lines to make supervision effective, reducing institutional differences and financing availability. The methodology applied included the use of surveys and discussion groups with the coordinators of Catalonia’s BSS. The results obtained consist of supervision type, training, flexibility of team decision-making and organisation with respect to the contents and the supervision methodologies used. The conclusions were the essential principles of recognition, acceptance, trust, confidentiality and an interdisciplinary, interprofessional, interinstitutional and intersectoral approach. Supervision was defined as an intrinsic support device for social intervention due to its thoughtful contributions, knowledge-building, and the capacity to analyse the practices and the assignments given to professionals from BSS teams.
