Coaching Supervision

Coaching Supervision is a process of professional support for coaches, which ensures the continuing development of their coaching practice through reflection, evaluation and sharing of expertise.

Why does my organisation need coaching supervision?

In a notoriously unregulated market, supervision ensures that coaches, whether internal or external, are consistently adding value to the business. It is considered one of the most effective ways of ensuring high quality coaching provision.

The European Mentoring and Coaching Council code of ethics states that a coach/mentor should maintain a relationship with a suitably qualified supervisor who will support their development. In addition, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has drawn up guidelines for purchasers of coaching that insist on practitioners being able to articulate the formal supervision arrangements in place (Jarvis, 2004 1).
