Recognising that asking one supervisor to manage performance reviews, case consultation, and emotional support is a heavy lift, Fei Yue Community Services introduced a dual-supervision structure.

Now, General Supervisors focus on day-to-day management and operations, while Clinical Supervisors focus on professional practice and development.

Joanne Tan breaks down the distinct roles, qualifications, and the coordination required for this model to succeed.

We welcomed 24 educators and education officers from the Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province Office of Education, Republic of Korea, to SASW on 12 August 2026 for a learning exchange with our School Social Work Chapter.

Chapter members shared about Singapore's education landscape and the role school social workers play in supporting students and schools.

It was a meaningful exchange of practice on both sides, and a reminder of how much there is to learn from one another across systems and borders.
