S

Supervision/supervise

Supervision can be either direct or indirect:
• Direct supervision is when the supervisor is actually present and personally observes, works with, guides and directs the person who is being supervised
• Indirect supervision is when the supervisor works in the same facility or organisation as the supervised person, but does not constantly observe their activities. The supervisor must be available for reasonable access. What is reasonable will depend on the context, the needs of the person receiving care and the needs of the person who is being supervised. Also see Direct supervision and Indirect supervision.
