Material | Intervision Model of Peer-Led Group Reflection

The Intervision Model of Peer-Led Group Reflection is a structured method for group supervision that focuses on professional practice situations and challenges. Unlike traditional supervision, intervision is peer-led and does not rely on an external expert facilitator. Instead, all participants take on various roles, including case presenter, facilitator, note taker, and reflecting team, ensuring a reciprocal and collaborative process.

This model aims to create a safe and reflective space where professionals can support each other, develop questioning and curiosity skills, and gain new perspectives on work-related challenges. It promotes emotional containment, enhances social connections, reduces burnout, and improves professional practice.

The document provides a step-by-step guide to conducting an intervision session, outlining roles, ground rules, and the process of presenting and reflecting on professional challenges. It highlights the benefits of the approach, including emotional support, skills development, and broadening perspectives while acknowledging the need for integrating theory with practice.

This resource is particularly valuable for practice supervisors, educators, and professionals in social work or related fields who seek a structured yet flexible way to engage in reflective practice and peer learning.
