In this conversation, Beverley Samways and Lisa Jane Lea-Weston discuss the critical role of supervision, particularly in supporting teachers and leaders, and how this is a foundational need for any organisation wanting to respond well to people in their care who are traumatised or distressed.

They explore the misconceptions surrounding supervision, its importance in fostering emotional well-being, and how it can empower educators to better serve their students.

Through real-life examples, they illustrate the profound impact supervision can have on both individual educators and the broader school environment, emphasizing the need for regular, structured support systems in educational settings.
