The aim is to maintain focus and support for individual wellbeing, progress towards goals and personal development plans, and to give feedback on behaviours.
It’s an opportunity to address under-performance in the early days and provide support to improve performance.
The focus should be on the quality of the conversation.
A suggested structure for this conversation has the following elements:
- your wellbeing
- your progress towards your goals
- your progress towards your personal development plan
- actions agreed and anything else
1-to-1 forms will not be saved centrally, but line managers should keep a record for their reference and store securely and confidentially.
The normal protocols should be followed to protect the identification of any individual, for example when discussing casework.
Where 1-to-1 is referenced, this can be interchanged with 'supervision' where relevant to each service.
It is intended to complement the supervision practice in Adult Social Care and Health and Children’s Services.
Supervision will remain a feature for individuals who are required to demonstrate specific professional competencies or achievements to retain their right to practice, such as the social worker registration.
The 1-to-1 template is attached to this page.
