Packed with up-to-date examples from real-life schools, this is an invaluable guide to how supervision can help teachers and other staff to feel safe, happy and challenged in their work, and to more effectively safeguard the children and young people in their care. 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 - an effective method of supporting staff with safeguarding, and with the broader emotional demands of their work. Based on direct experience and presenting an Integrated Model of Supervision (IMS), this book offers guidance for instigating supervision in school settings. The Second Edition is revised throughout, with three new chapters and all chapters updated to incorporate contemporary examples.
