Cornwall pilots AI support for recording supervision with managers

Ofsted's August 2024 report on Cornwall's children's services says that a pilot using AI to support managers' accurate recording and reflection of supervision sessions was succeeding.

  • 1 for an organization

    Ofsted calls the pilot a success in supporting managers' supervision records, and it gives no measure.

Depth runs from 1, a convenience or time saved, to 5, a life or a livelihood preserved.

    Ofsted. Inspection of Cornwall local authority children's services, inspection dates 1 to 5 July 2024. Published 22 August 2024. Paragraph 50, on the workforce. Ofsted calls the pilot successful but does not say what inspectors saw of it.

    A recent development is being successfully piloted for managers, using artificial intelligence to support the accurate recording and reflection of supervision sessions.
    Supervision is mostly regular and addresses risk, with some records showing reflection as well as being task-focused.

Details

AI system

Workflow

Cornwall piloted AI with managers to support the recording and reflection of supervision sessions. Practitioners had structured pathways for professional development and several ways to give feedback, including an annual survey.

Follow-up

Conditions for replication

Supervision takes place regularly and addresses risk.

Sector

Children's social care.

Purpose

A developer that Ofsted does not name built the AI that Cornwall's managers piloted to support the accurate recording and reflection of supervision sessions.
