As you probably recall, the following is a stated requirement in the Conditions of Candidacy for those on the Candidate Register:You are not permitted to engage in your own independent practice work during the period of candidacy. It is important for you to have access to a registered psychologist for collegial support, consultation and supervision relating to workplace matters. If a psychologist is not available onsite then another manager/supervisor who can provide evaluative feedback to your NSRP Supervisor would be acceptable. In this instance you must have another psychologist for collegial support and consultation about workplace matters, in addition to your NSRP Supervisor.
In keeping with the above requirements, candidate registrants could be co-owners with a registered psychologist, but they would need to have workplace supervision available to them, in addition to their NSRP supervisor. They should be able to name the registered psychologist(s) who can provide workplace supervision and consultation. It would also be important to have a plan in the event that the registered psychologist left the practice/partnership, as otherwise it would become an independent practice of 2 candidates.
