Developing a values evidence-based clinical supervision model within a forensic intellectual disability service

– The purpose of this paper is to discuss the development and proposal of a values evidence-based model of clinical supervision (CS) for the implementation by nursing staff (registered and non-registered nurses) within a forensic intellectual disability service.

– This is a conceptual and technical paper providing a descriptive account for a service provision with nursing staff.

– The paper does not present any research findings but does demonstrate a novel and innovative approach to the conceptualisation and implementation of CS.

– The paper examines the dominant concepts that shape existing thinking around CS and suggests a new interpretation that involves greater pragmatism through a values evidence-based approach.
