Supervisor Concerns
Difficulties or conflicts in the relationship with 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, and providing specific and timely feedback when necessary.
However, there may be situations where a supervisor should escalate their concerns to ACSLPA.
For example:
- When a client issues a complaint about the supervisee’s behaviour or the quality of their care;
- When the supervisee has difficulties or is unsuccessful in integrating feedback for safe and competent client care into their practice;
- If both parties are unable to resolve issues or concerns 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.
