Slide One to one supervision Investing in external supervision is a big decision. As a leader, you will want the best for your staff and your school. Three common issues that our schools are often looking for external supervision to address are: effective use of time, expert delivery of supervision and tailored CPD to enable staff to manage high workloads/complex cases Meet Julia Davey - Lead supervisor With over two decades of experience, I've served as a Local Authority school advisor and senior leader, specializing in SEND and Safeguarding.
My journey includes developing national training programs, including supervision for family support teams in children's social care.

My diploma-level systemic supervision training and completion of a Local Authority supervision in schools project, recognized at the master's level, underpin every supervision session.

I blend this expertise with frontline and leadership insights, fostering reflective dialogue, innovative problem-solving, and resourceful support in education. The 2 most common questions schools ask Are your services a good fit for our school?

One Supervision Course The course is the formal learning element of the supervision programme Learning is delivered over 10 x 30 min modules and consists of short, video, information, with feedback segments and timed activities.

Learning is imbedded through 10 x 60 min group supervision sessions and measured through professional development plans. Together this provides a knowledge, skills and behaviour change approach to learning. In the 30 min modules, supervisees have opportunity to:

We recommend sessions are completed individually on a monthly basis arrow_back PREVIOUS NEXT arrow_forward Two Facilitated Supervision Sessions Why we include facilitated sessions Delivering formal, evidence based, group, reflective supervision consistently takes time. Time to plan sessions, and time to prepare and develop skills as a facilitator, are two of the most common reasons cited to us, as a barrier to imbedding supervision training into school settings. We want to make the delivery of supervision simple and practical for busy DSLs How the sessions work Sessions are facilitated by qualified and experienced supervisors, who guide you
through each step of the process, and support supervisees to generate new thinking
and fresh perspectives.

The structure of sessions is underpinned by Morrisons 4x4x4 model
(adapted for Education), to ensure reflective, group, supervision is intentional,
formal and evidence based.

Each session consists of short video information and feedback segments
and timed activities.

Over 60 mins supervisees have opportunity to:

lensCheck in
lensPresent problems
lensFocus on an area of development from the supervision course
lensExplore the problem and next steps using a systemic approach
lensComplete action plans

 arrow_back PREVIOUS NEXT arrow_forward Four Standards for Supervision Purpose Standards for supervision provide a guide for implementation and measurement of outcomes. Standards are relevant to all educational settings and support delivery of Local Safeguarding Children Partnership standards for partner agencies. Supervisory and line management responsibilities are clearly defined to aid understanding and ensure compliance with national and local legislation and guidance. What’s included To support strategic oversight, this document is published within the Supervision in School model supervision policy. arrow_back PREVIOUS NEXT arrow_forward Five Model supervision policy Purpose A supervision policy is currently not a statutory requirement but does represent good practice and is recorded on the S175 self-assessment for some Local Authorities.
In our experience, when a policy is in place;

1. Staff are clear about the nature and purpose of the activity
2. Oversight of supervision is visible
3. Accountability for agreed actions is clear
4. Outcomes for children are measured

In addition, the clarity that a supervision policy provides has a positive impact on DSL confidence and wellbeing.
 What's Included A model supervision policy that includes;
1. Definition of safeguarding supervision
2. Purpose of supervision
3. Supervision model and standards
4. Model documents to record reflective and line manager supervision sessions
5. Model professional development plans

All documents are published in an editable format and should be personalised to each setting.
arrow_back PREVIOUS NEXT arrow_forward Six Model Professional Development plans Purpose Fulfilling the role of the Lead DSL, as described in Keeping Children Safe in Education, places high expectations on professional expertise. Awareness of safeguarding issues and processes for school-based DSLs are outlined in standard DSL training, accessible both nationally and locally.

At Supervision in School, we recognise that in addition, an intentional focus on enhancing practice skills supports both better outcomes for children and increased wellbeing for DSLs.

The development of practice skills for DSLs is therefore our measurable professional development focus.

Our professional development plan enables gap analysis and documentation of progress.

Plans can be tailored to support individual learning or whole school development plans. Purpose An annual professional development plan that tracks staff knowledge, skills, and behaviours in key skills for effective delivery of safeguarding in education.

All teaching is provided though the DSL mentoring sessions included in the Supervision in School programme. arrow_back PREVIOUS NEXT arrow_forward close
