Supervisor Concerns

Underperformance of a supervisee can be a difficult situation to manage.

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

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

Examples:

  • When a client issues a complaint about the supervisee’s behaviour or the quality of their care,
  • When the supervisee doesn’t agree with the supervisor’s concerns and makes no attempts to integrate feedback,
  • If both parties are unable to resolve conflicts following feedback and conversations (i.e., unable to come to an agreement), or
  • If the supervisor learns that the supervisee has breached their organizations’ Code of Conduct or ACSLPA’s Code of Ethics.

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