GENERAL AGREEMENT SUPERVISION

 

1.      During the first session your supervisor will discuss the following with you and where possible will answer your questions:

·         Confidentiality

·         The type of supervision being offered

·         What you need from your supervisor

·         What you want from supervision

·         What your supervisor might expect from you

·         The fee and methods of payment

·         Arrangements for emergency/non-face to face contact

At the end of the first session you will both agree whether or not to continue beyond this first session.

 

2.      CONFIDENTIALITY is strictly adhered to as part of this agreement, by both parties.

 

Exceptions to this are where you request a report; where either of you wish

to use any content from supervision for other purposes such as training,

ongoing professional development, research, publication or case presentation.

If concerns arise regarding competence your supervisor will try to resolve

them with you directly within the supervision process. However if client safety

is at risk, your supervisor will need to breach confidentiality. This process for

this will be discussed and agreed with you. 

 

3.      If you have any DISPUTE or GRIEVANCE with your supervisor it is recommended that you try to resolve it face to face. Where this is not possible you may contact his supervisors in order to try to resolve the issue.

      supervisors professional body, the British Association for Counselling and
