Today's guest is Debbie Innis Turnill – Debbie has been a teacher for 30 years, a lecturer at Birmingham University and an independent safeguarding consultant.

Today we are discussing Supervision or Reflective Practice and how this can support safeguarding in school, which is quite a new area for most schools in the UK. It comes from clinical supervision and supervision in social work which have been in place for a long time to support professional practice.

Welcome to this episode of "After The Bell’ the podcast from Connex Academy where we dive into the world of education and bring you valuable insights. We are delighted to be joined in this episode by Neil Hopkins and Carol Thompson authors of Reflections on Identity, which was published in January. Neil and Carol are both lecturers at the University of Bedfordshire

Reflections on Identity brings Educators and leaders from a variety of settings to explore their professional experiences and the impact these have had on forming values in their professional roles.

The book takes an interesting narrative approach, and this allows a conversation about this topic. Drawing on personal experience, individual chapter authors have considered some of the challenges they have encountered as part of their identity formation.

It also focuses on the importance of organisational cultures, the impact of frequent changes imposed through government initiatives and the social perception of education professionals when compared to other professional roles.
