Synopsis

As a universal service, education is expected to safeguard and meet the needs of all pupils, some of whom may have complex issues, and also to offer emotional support for children and their families. There are increasing pressures and changes facing schools and teachers, accelerated by the impact of the pandemic; however, unlike other stressful professions, there is no accepted framework for supporting school staff to deal with the personal and emotional rigours of their role. Supervision offers a solution: a means to support staff with safeguarding, and with the broader emotional demands of their work.

Based on direct experience, this popular and influential book delivers comprehensive, practical guidance for instigating supervision in school settings. The Integrated Model of Supervision (IMS) presented is an effective model that can be used in a variety of education settings, from Reception to Year 13. The Second Edition is updated throughout and includes new chapters on emotionally attuned supervision, group supervision and experiences of supervision, along with a significantly expanded set of accompanying tools and resources.

Filled with contemporary examples to reflect the realities of today’s educational world, this is an invaluable guide for all schools, governing bodies, local authorities, those trained in supervision, national educational advisors and school academy trusts.
