    Brief

    This opportunity invites qualified researchers and evaluators to conduct a formative evaluation of the STAR tool, which is designed to assess the quality of social work supervision. The evaluation should examine three key aspects: usability (ease of use and user experience), reliability (consistency and dependability of measurements), and effectiveness (ability to accurately measure supervision quality). The research will generate evidence on the tool's performance and provide recommendations for improvement, supporting evidence-based practice in social work supervision. This pilot evaluation is intended to inform further development and implementation of the STAR tool across social work settings.
