Abstract

This article explores creative supervision with Headteachers and Senior Leaders following the Covid-19 pandemic. It examines the effects of a global trauma on schools and the need for effective supervision to provide a safe container for school staff. Different forms of creative supervision are considered, including the use of symbol and metaphor as well as working outdoors, in nature.
