(12) A Council-approved supervisor who wishes to provide
supervision required as a result of a Council order must comply with
this title, all other applicable laws and rules, and/or the following.
(A) A licensee who is required to be supervised as
a condition of initial licensure, continued licensure, or disciplinary
action must:
(i) submit one supervisory plan for each practice location
to the Council for approval by the Council or its designee within
30 days of initiating supervision;
(ii) submit a current job description from the agency
in which the social worker is employed with a verification of authenticity
from the agency director or his or her designee on agency letterhead
or submit a copy of the contract or appointment under which the licensee
intends to work, along with a statement from the potential supervisor
that the supervisor has reviewed the contract and is qualified to
supervise the licensee in the setting;
(iii) ensure that the supervisor submits reports to
the Council on a schedule determined by the Council. In each report,
the supervisor must address the supervisee's performance, how closely
the supervisee adheres to statutes and rules, any special circumstances
that led to the imposition of supervision, and recommend whether the
supervisee should continue licensure. If the supervisor does not recommend
the supervisee for continued licensure, the supervisor must provide
specific reasons for not recommending the supervisee. The Council
may consider the supervisor's reservations as it evaluates the supervision
verification the supervisee submits; and
(iv) notify the Council immediately if there is a disruption
in the supervisory relationship or change in practice location and
submit a new supervisory plan within 30 days of the break or change
in practice location.
(B) The supervisor who agrees to provide Council-ordered
supervision of a licensee who is under Council disciplinary action
must understand the Council order and follow the supervision stipulations
outlined in the order. The supervisor must address with the licensee
those professional behaviors that led to Council discipline, and must
help to remediate those concerns while assisting the licensee to develop
strategies to avoid repeating illegal, substandard, or unethical behaviors.
(C) Council-ordered and mandated supervision timeframes
are specified in the Council order.
