We sincerely appreciate the time you took out of your busy schedule to join us and thank you for sharing your insights and expertise with our students.

Thank you once again for your time and effort.

Prof JG White Head: Department of Dental Management Sciences School of Dentistry, University of Pretoria

Thank you for taking the initiative and starting a much-needed Supervision Support Group. I thoroughly enjoyed my first session:
* Networking with colleagues;
* Sharing and providing guidance on ethical issues;
* Assisting with interpretation of my area of expertise (The Children’s Act);
* Listening to the diverse Social Work backgrounds and differences between those in Private Practice/in Government/Metro Municipalities and owning a Company; and lastly
* Enjoyed the discussions on best practices and challenges of starting your own business.

Looking forward to engaging in the near future
