Talking Heads offers expert consultancy to help organisations strategically embed and scale up high-quality supervision across educational settings. With decades of expertise in supervision and the strategic scaling of provision, Talking Heads provides consultancy services to support organisations in embedding supervision effectively.
This work includes partnerships with Local Authorities, Multi Academy Trusts (MATs) and organisations such as the National Association of Special Schools. Talking Heads and its Associates have also contributed to the large-scale Government funded programme, “Wellbeing Support for Senior Leaders” with Education Support.
Talking Heads can offer support and advice around how to run pilots and scale up, whilst ensuring ongoing quality, integrity and sustainability. For Local Authorities, consultancy includes guidance on funding models, exploring whether to fully or partially subsidise supervision and outlining the respective benefits and challenges of each. Both approaches have been successfully implemented, with tailored recommendations based on organisational goals and capacity. Whether designing new supervision systems or expanding existing ones, Talking Heads offers practical insight and strategic direction to embed effective, focused supervision across educational settings.
From the outset, Talking Heads have been exceptional collaborators. They have demonstrated unwavering professionalism, flexibility, and a genuine passion for supporting the wellbeing of educational professionals. Their team has guided us every step of the way—offering expert advice on supervision models, co-delivering an informative session for head teachers, and even contributing to the design of our programme evaluation. Communication has been seamless, and their human, empathetic approach has made them a pleasure to work with.
