Penny Sturt (Talking Heads Lead Associate) is delighted that her co-written book with Jo Rowe, Using Supervision in Schools, was published in October 2023. In deciding to update their guide they have recognised how significantly the context for schools has changed since the original book was published in 2018. The new edition also contains a foreword written by Lisa Lea-Weston.

On November 23rd Talking Heads are hosting the launch of this significant book developing the role of supervision in schools. There are still a few tickets available if you want to find out more.  Significantly we have drawn on our collective experience of providing supervision to a range of education settings, to demonstrate how valuable supervision is to schools and how this model of supervision works in education. The Integrated Model of Supervision in Schools, IMS(S), is used in training offered by Talking Heads.

“As a safeguarding consultant and child protection lecturer I know that supervision helps to ensure children, young people and school staff are kept safe. Penny and Jo’s updated book is an excellent place to begin your school’s supervision journey.” Debbie Innes
