I am writing because I am in a time of transition and I have a few questions. Specifically, I have resigned from my position as Clinical Interventionist at EIBI in Sydney. I am currently seeking other full-time employment with local school boards. I have yet to begin administering psycho-educational assessments under the supervision, as mentioned in previous e-mails to the assistant registrar, but we have been meeting to discuss and prepare for future assessments (e.g., practicing assessment tools). Additionally, my primary supervisor has recently changed her employment and will be unable to supervise me in September 2018. My supervisor has indicated to me that she will be unable to supervise me as a candidate, full time. So, currently I am seeking a second supervisor moving forward.

So, I have some questions:I will soon be in between jobs and would like to remain on the candidate register. Moving forward, will I be able to count my time spent meeting with my initial supervisor as supervision hours for assessment work?Last month, I submitted documentation for my second supervisor to be a co-supervisor with my first supervisor. I am unsure if my first supervisor has been approved as a supervisor. I have met with my first supervisor a few times this month, in addition to an hour of supervision with my second supervisor. Will my first supervisor’s hours count as supervision? As well, will my second supervisor and I be required to meet for a second hour of supervision, as we usually would?Will my second supervisor be required to meet with my first supervisor in order for my second superviosr to share information with my first supervisor regarding our supervision sessions, prior to September?Will my second supervisor be required to complete any paperwork upon finishing up as my supervisor?

I have put the responses after your questions to keep track.

I will soon be in between jobs and would like to remain on the candidate register. Moving forward, will I be able to count my time spent meeting with my first supervisor as supervision hours for assessment work?Yes, assuming she is approved by the Registration Subcommittee at their September 14th meeting.

Last month, I submitted documentation for my first supervisor to be a co-supervisor with my second supervisor. I am unsure if my first supervisor has been approved as a supervisor. I have met with my first supervisor a few times this month, in addition to an hour of supervision with my second supervisor. Will my first supervisor’s hours count as supervision? As well, will my second supervisor and I be required to meet for a second hour of supervision, as we usually would?That would be up to my second supervisor. You need to have 2 hours of supervision a month in place. If my second supervisor is willing to provide 2 hours supervision until you secure a new co-supervisor, that would be acceptable, assuming she is approved by the Registration Subcommittee at their September 14th meeting.

Will my second supervisor be required to meet with my first supervisor in order for my second supervisor to share information with first supervisor regarding our supervision sessions, prior to September?Yes, with a change in supervisors it is expected that “The new Supervisor contacts the former Supervisor to allow for an exchange information with respect to the candidate’ supervision. This communication is documented in the supervision report.”Will second supervisor be required to complete any paperwork upon finishing up as my supervisor?Yes, see “Changes in Supervisors” on the website, here is link to page:
