Supervision is one strand of clinical governance for all health care professions and should take place alongside continuing professional development (CPD) and life-long learning to ensure safe and accountable practice and high quality clinical and professional services.

Clinical supervision has the specific purpose to maintain, update and develop clinical skills in assessment, formulation and interventions. This may address clinical work from various orientations – complex cases, based on diagnoses/conditions, interventions or model specific.

Regular clinical supervision within the clinician’s preferred model of practice is a prerequisite for safe and effective clinical practice. Supervision can also involve the integration of clinical material with theoretical perspectives.

Supervision is intended to serve three co-related functions:

• Normative functions of monitoring and ensuring client well-being, and monitoring and evaluating supervisee competence;
• Restorative functions of supporting the supervisee’s personal and professional well-being.
• Formative functions of educating and guiding the supervisee's professional practice.
