Abstract. The connection between the theoretical and practical application of supervision by specialists in the “Child Protection Department”and specifically the socio-pedagogical work with children and students at risk is the main task of this article. The activities of the employees in the “Child Protection Department” were studied by Bulgarian researchers , and the connection in the meetings with supervisors in the empirical study was traced. After a brief review of scientific studies of our authors, theoretical criteria for its application are derived. The empirical study is presented through a content analysis of 100 reports from four supervisors with specialists from “Child Protection Departments” in the period January 2019 until December 2020. Four basic characteristics of the applied supervision are derived from the analysis: therapeutic process; case support process, unbiased perspective, guidance and recommendations, advice on case work; training process, giving methodological explanations about normative and sub-normative documents and a place for team interaction.
