Safeguarding and child protection work is demanding and emotionally challenging and supervision provides a structure within which staff can be supported, challenged and developed. Supervision promotes the wellbeing and emotional welfare of staff, improves decision-making and, ultimately, ensures that professionals are working in the best interests of the child at all times.
Why choose BEP?
Led by Anna Robinson, Director of Mental Health at BEP and Clinical Supervisor (on behalf of Liz Rose from SoSafeguarding), this session offers a valuable opportunity to explore the role of supervision in schools.
