314: Group Intervision Process
Intervision is a supervision process among peers. Supervision aims to support coaches in ways that are restorative (e.g. self-confidence), formative (e.g. new learning and development) and normative (e.g. ethical clarity). Coaches typically leave supervision feeling resourced. This is an opportunity for you to bring forward issues that you are facing as a coach.
