What is deemed supervision for the purposes of PACFA Registration?
Professional or Post-Training Supervision: Supervision is a formal, collaborative process in which case material from the supervisee’s own practice experience is reflected upon. In supervision, a senior colleague takes responsibility for supervising the work of a supervisee, who seeks the help of the supervisor because this person is understood to have some superior knowledge. Supervision may, for the purpose of the PACFA Register application process, take the form of individual or small group meetings (of up to six supervisees and a supervisor). It is not the same as administrative or management supervision, nor is it the same as psychotherapy or counselling of the supervisee. For more information on the supervision requirements, please refer to the PACFA Professional Training Standards.
