SUPERVISION RESOURCE MANUAL FOR PSYCHOLOGY REGISTRATION

Abstract

Primary and Alternate supervisors also have different, specific responsibilities depending on the area of practice, client population, and “division of work” that Primary and Alternate supervisors agree on between themselves and with the supervised member. In agreeing to be a Primary or Alternate supervisor, the member must review the Supervisee’s Declaration of Competence. Supervisors should communicate to ensure that between them they are able to provide the supervisory experiences necessary for the supervised member to fulfill competency requirements, taking into account which authorized areas of practice the supervised member is seeking upon registration. When there are changes to the supervised members’ Declaration of Competence, both the member and their supervisors must inform the College in advance, in accordance with the Guidelines for Completing the Declaration of Competence. Supervisors should familiarize themselves with these guidelines. A change in the Declaration of Competence should be explicitly considered in the supervisor’s subsequent appraisal(s) of the supervised member.
