Abstract. The article aims to present a conceptual model of training in remote virtual supervision in social work. This model corresponds to the current trends of digital transformation and has high potential for application in higher education and training specialists in social activities. Тhe authors analyze the opportunities and limitations of digitalization in social work, focusing on the digital adaptation of traditional supervision. They explore the perspective of both synchronous and asynchronous application of virtual supervision, including the need to develop specialized skills for remote, computer-mediated monitoring and advisory support of social workers. The paper comments on specific issues related to digitization such as limited non-verbal cues, privacy, trust issues, and the effects of emotional support in the absence of direct personal connection. The authors suggest educational interventions to overcome these issues.
