A supervisor provides supervision only when the supervisor's professional
competence is sufficient to meet the needs of the trainee or registered
associate. A supervisor does not permit a trainee or registered associate under
the supervisor's supervision to perform, nor purport to be competent to
perform, professional services beyond the trainee's or registered associate's
level of training and accepts responsibility for the effects of the actions of
the trainee or registered associate of which they should be aware.
