Peer Support Supervision: Strengthening Practice, Confidence, and Wellbeing for Youth Workers

Supporting young people begins with supporting the dedicated professionals who work alongside them every day. Peer Support Supervision offers youth workers — and anyone working with young people — a safe, structured, and encouraging space to reflect, learn, and grow together.

This approach isn’t just a meeting; it’s an investment in professional development, team cohesion, and personal wellbeing. Internal Youth Service guidance emphasises that peer supervision creates opportunities for shared learning, reflective practice, and a strong sense of community among practitioners

Peer Support Supervision empowers youth workers to bring their best selves to the young people they support. It creates a culture where learning is shared, challenges are explored safely, and professional relationships are strengthened.

Whether you’re new to youth work or experienced in the field, these sessions offer a valuable opportunity to reflect, recharge, and grow — together.
