The purpose of this course is to assist beginning and experienced supervisors in the development of practical tools and responses to ethical transactions with supervisees across varying contexts and developmental levels. “Professional supervision is defined as the relationship between supervisor and supervisee in which the responsibility and accountability for the development of competence, demeanor, and ethical practice take place,” (ASWB and NASW, 2013). These standards go on to highlight that it is the supervisor who is responsible for providing the direction to achieve these aims, and in collaboration with the supervisee, carry the responsibility to achieve these goals in an ethical manner.
Whether an individual is tasked with supervising university interns, agency staff, or supervising supervisors, no aspect of supervision or consultation is without ethical underpinnings. Consequently, supervisors must provide the context for ethical practice from the beginning and throughout the supervision process.
