A binational look at minimal standards for social work supervisors
This session examines social work supervision standards, calling on the idea that meeting minimum requirements alone does not ensure competent supervision. The session explores the tension between compliance and competence and why supervisor competency is an issue in public protection and the supervisory relationship.

- Compare and contrast differences and shared values in binational supervision practices, identifying key implications.
- Explain the importance of formal preparation and education for social work supervisors in promoting ethical, competent, and effective care.
