ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the development of a diploma-level clinical super-
vision module at the University of Wales, Swansea. It provides a background
to the course, identifies the experiential learning components and the theoreti-
cal components, and looks at links with additional institutional developments,
designed to expand and forward the uptake and practice of supervision. The
chapter then includes reflections on the experience of educational develop-
ments in clinical supervision and uses metaphors to illustrate these reflections.
The chapter also points out that despite undertaking training, not all trained
supervisors take on the role of supervisor when they return to their practice
setting. The chapter also serves as a logical precursor to the next section of
the book.
