Supervisee Concerns

Difficulties or conflicts in the relationship with a supervisor can be a hard situation to manage.

Supervisors and supervisees are expected to manage and mitigate concerns by engaging in respectful and open conversations about expectations, providing specific and timely feedback when necessary.

However, there may be situations where a supervisee should escalate their concerns to ACSLPA.

Examples:

When the supervisor is not available to provide adequate supervision as per the supervision agreement signed at the onset of the practice period;
When the supervisee is experiencing bullying, or discrimination or harassment*; or
When the supervisor is acting in ways that breach the ACSLPA Standards of Practice or Code of Ethics.

ACSLPA staff will work with the supervisor and supervisee to help resolve the issue.
