ABSTRACT:

In order to elaborate this study, we chose to present a series of primary data collected by the semistructured interview method, according to whichwe performed the open coding, while proceeding to the onset of axial and selective coding. As new interviews will be coded, the supervision model will be outlined as a paradigm of supervision in Iaşi County, Romania. Supervision is seen as a form of coaching, providing methodological guidance on how to solve cases. The supervision process has the role of stimulate the professional resources of the social assistant, especially the beginner.
The relationship created between the supervisor and the supervised, when the supervision process is maximally effective and based on an informal relationship of collaboration, can turn into professional friendship and can last long after the formal relationship has ceased.
Trust is considered fundamental for the establishment of an ethical relationship between the supervisor and the supervised, and this is born out of the exercise of professional responsibility, coupled with profound and continuous professional training, which creates both professional and communication skills. Professional relations with the other institutions in the sphere of social protection are mutual cooperation and support, and these relations also include the representatives of private institutions.
