ABOUT THE COURSE:
This course provides supervisors with the legal and ethical knowledge needed to safeguard their practice when providing supervision to pre-licensed clinicians. The course includes a benchmark law and ethics test that supervisors can incorporate into their own practice and administer at the beginning of new supervisory relationships. The benchmark test assesses a supervisee’s proficiency in legal and ethical issues. The test assessment allows supervisors to identify knowledge deficits and provide additional training before allowing their supervisees to work with clients. This course also provides an in-depth review of the legal and ethical guidelines for supervision and teaches techniques supervisors can use to minimize their risk of legal liability.
