The supervision CPD article is a report based on a literature review and a journal kept during a pair of supervision contracts, featuring four to six sessions over 2 or 3 months. These two contracts helped track the development of being supervised by a peer whilst providing supervision. of a youth worker's professional role. Both being supervised in three functions:
Administrative & legal compliance;
Managerial accountability;
Training and professional development.
The leadership CPD article is a report based on a literature review, a social sector environment management analysis and a journal kept during a review of the corporate ethos of the organisation featured. This culminated in a presentation and the report, describing and explaining a process used in reviewing the organisational ethos and its effect on the public service being provided.
The children's work CPD article is a case study research report comparing and contrasting the development and responses of pre-teens, using anecdotal evidence. The evidence develops and explores fundamental questions of child spirituality. What extent are their expressions and ideas independently and originally stemmed from their own spiritual development? If and why do they distinguish prayer from simple reasoning, self awareness and decision-making? The anecdotal conversations are with parents and youth workers. The context is a unique children's law centre led by a prior mayor and expert in criminal law and equitable trust.
The article on youth perspectives, policy and practice is based on a literature review, journal and blog exploring anecdotal evidence and social media feedback. It also supports a presentation on the effect of the changing political, demographic and socio-economic environment on matters drawing attention from youngsters in the inner city.
My ministry practice and research analyses and literary reviews investigate changing techniques and practices in research and ministry development. The historical focus, on the breadth and depth of unusual as well as commonly applied tools and assumptions, forms a basis of comparative analysis. This spans across an innovative set of approaches in both: firstly with respect to an historical development of theopraxis and then internationally culture-based theosophy, then in respect to developing social science and technical research methodology.
