Supervision
Creating Emotional and Strategic Margin
'The space between what you need and what you have'
Critical Thinking - Self Development
Managing Change - Strategic Planning
Emotional Support - Safeguarding
Supervision, as the name suggests, is an opportunity to talk through aspects of work with an independent person who does not have any line management relationship. It allows a person to share concerns or seek advice, without this being linked to their performance.
Working in Education is a unique and demanding environment and sometimes things may happen where we need to 'offload' or want to get another perspective on.
Issues that might be taken to the supervisor could include dealing with particular individuals or groups of students who are proving particularly challenging, working with parents/carers, working with professionals, dealing with emotional issues in a safeguarding or a pastoral role, management or strategic issues, your own career path etc.
The matters discussed are confidential between the member of staff and the supervisor.
We provide a flexible approach to meet the changing needs and demands of staff. We can tailor and structure appropriate levels of support ensuring supervision is accessible promptly and efficiently.
