Synopsis

Teachers and other school staff are increasingly recognising that, unlike other stressful professions, they do not have a structured framework for emotional support. At the same time, increasing demands are being placed on schools to safeguard and provide emotional support for the children and families they serve, some of whom have complex needs. Supervision is a method of supporting staff to provide for those needs, and to build safe cultures for both staff and students.

This illustrated guide sets out an effective model of supervision which can be used in a variety of school settings from Reception to Year 13. It will help schools to support staff with their safeguarding role, and with the emotional demands of their work, as well as helping relevant schools to comply with the statutory requirements of supervision in The Early Years Framework. The book will also be invaluable reading for governing bodies, those trained in supervision, local authorities, national educational advisors and school academy trusts.
