title: The integrated model of restorative supervision for use within safeguarding.
abstract: This paper offers a review of a new model of supervision; the integrated restorative model, to underpin effective safeguarding supervision in health settings. This seeks to capitalize on the benefits of using both restorative supervision (Wallbank, 2010) and an integrated model commonly referred to as the 4x4x4 model (Morrison 2005, Wonnacott, 2012). It challenges the notion that restorative supervision is a stand- alone supervisory process sitting outside of safeguarding supervision and demonstrates how effective safeguarding supervision needs to combine critical reflective practice and critical thinking with a restorative experience in order for the professional to feel supported and maintain their capacity to think. The paper urges health settings to ensure that individuals undertaking safeguarding supervision are appropriately trained to identify how those sessions can support professionals to retain their reflective capacity and decision-making skills.
