(1) "Supervision" for this and all other sections wherein it is addressed means guidance in the professional application of social work practice as defined by law. Supervision is seen as a relationship between a supervisor and supervisee designed to promote responsibility, competency, and accountability, and which teaches the skills and techniques associated with social work practice.

(a) Individual supervision is defined as one supervisee meeting "face-to-face" with one supervisor, can also be live, interactive, visual communication as long as all three components are met during the session.

(b) Group supervision is defined as a maximum of six supervisees with similar responsibilities meeting "face-to-face" with one supervisor.

(2) Supervision can occur within an agency, institution, or group practice setting.

(3) Supervision for the purpose of these rules is not necessarily synonymous with the relationship of employer/employee. It is considered to be the responsibility of the licensee to negotiate a supervisory relationship, if such a relationship is not available within the employing agency.
