Conclusion Ladies and gentlemen I have listed several organisational challenges which the SSM will need to come to terms with, if it is to live up to its character as a network. 1. National authorities need to honour their staffing commitments, because these are what drives the operational functioning of the SSM. 2.
We need to remove boundaries between supervisors in their daily routines with a view to nurturing a “one-team” culture. 3. We need to enhance our language skills to account for the cultural diversity that is part and parcel of life in Europe.
