8. Legal Aspects of Supervision
0 Direct liability would be charged when the actions of a supervisor were
themselves the cause of harm to a supervisee or a client (for instance, if a
supervisor suggested (and documented) an intervention that was
determined to be the cause of harm). The supervisor does not have to
actually carry out the intervention, but if the supervisee follows the
suggestion of a supervisor and this results in harm – this is direct liability.
0 Vicarious liability is being held liable for the actions of the supervisee
when these were not suggested, or even known, by the supervisor.
Therefore, if a supervisory relationship exists, the supervisor can
potentially be held liable for any negligent acts of the supervisee.
Ethical Obligation:
1. Informed Consent: Agreement between
supervisor and supervisee .Client
should be informed immediately.
2. Confidentiality: Continued the confidentiality
of patient with supervisor and supervisee.
