Abstract
Current evidence suggests that there is a need to improve the understanding of both midwives and supervisors of midwives of the statutory framework and the role of the supervisor of midwives ( McDaid and Stewart-Moore, 2006 ; Henshaw et al, 2013 ). This article describes a collaborative initiative between a local NHS Trust's supervision team and its partner Approved Education Institution (AEI). It considers how to engage student midwives practically with the supportive mechanism of statutory supervision from the beginning of their programme of midwifery education, in order to enhance and further develop their understanding of statutory supervision gained through traditional theoretical learning. The overall aim of this initiative is to promote a greater understanding among student midwives, and ultimately midwives, of the statutory framework and the role of the supervisor of midwives.
