Supervision and appraisal are two varying but complementary practices. Supervision is a two-way process which aims to support, motivate, and enable the development of good practice for individuals working within the health and social care sector. If undertaken correctly, it can significantly improve the quality of care a worker provides, which boosts organisation-wide performance and care standards. An appraisal is a more formal process involving reviewing a health and social worker’s performance over a set period. It evaluates performance against any aims and objectives set, the individual’s job description and performance during any periods of observation or supervision. The outcome is identifying positive performance and areas for improvement that may form the basis for future aims and objectives.
