LCSW – Associate Clinical Supervision is provided on a regular basis, conducted no less than once every two weeks at a rate of no less than (1) hour of supervision for every 30 hours of clinical practice. It is an ongoing relationship designed to promote the development of responsibility, knowledge, skill, and ethical standards in the provision of clinical social work services through the exploration of client-centered material. The major focus in the supervisory process is accountability for client care within the parameters and ethical standards of the social work profession, including oversight and guidance in diagnosis and treatment of each client, review of documentation, and the provision of feedback and direction to the supervisee. Supervision is a learning process with the goal of professional growth and competent self-directed professional practice.
Due to COVID-19, the NC Social Work Certification and Licensure Board currently allows up to half of the required supervision hours to be provided through the use of technology.
