2. Educational
3. Supportive

, What are the 3 functions of supervision?
1. Supervisor is there to EDUCATE the social worker and IMPROVE job
performance.
2. Supervisor is in charge of social worker's and/or intern's caseloads.

Supervisor Key Concepts
Accountability for client care within the parameters and ethical standards of the
social work profession.
What is the top priority of supervision?
The Supervisor should COMMEND work performance, also point out
inappropriate performance when it occurs.
What should a supervisor do?
Administrative supervision is oriented towards agency policy and public
accountability, assign cases to most appropriate social worker, discuss the
assessment and intervention plan, review the social worker's ongoing contact
with the client.
What is Administrative Supervision?
Educational supervision is oriented towards professional concerns and specific
cases, help supervisee better understand agency policy and philosophy, become
more self aware, know the agency and community resources, establish activity
priorities, refine knowledge skills.
What is Educational Supervision?
-Consultation information and recommendations are voluntarily followed and
clinical suggestions can either be accepted or rejected. The relationship is not
regulated by legal statute.
-The consultant provides expert advice but the legal responsibility lies with the
social worker completing the task.
-Consultation is limited in authority and often does not meet requirements for
credentialing bodies or insurance companies.
