Unblurring the Boundaries—Managing Complex Ethics and Risk Management Challenges in Supervision
Elba Figueroa
During the course of their careers, social work supervisors face myriad ethical and risk management challenges that require skilled navigation. Is it appropriate to become friends—whether in-person or online—with supervisees? What are supervisors’ ethical duties when they have concerns about supervisees’ competence, impairment, or misconduct? Is it appropriate for supervisors to share personal information with supervisees? How might supervisors experience moral injury or harm? How should supervisors balance their supervisory and therapeutic instincts when supervisees share personal challenges in their lives? How should supervisors manage their employers’ expectations that clash with social work ethics standards? Are supervision agreements an effective tool to address ethical issues? Do supervisors risk being named in lawsuits associated with their role? What practical steps can supervisors take to protect supervisees and themselves when ethical issues arise?
Join Frederic Reamer in a rich discussion of these and other complex ethics and risk management issues that arise in supervision. Reamer will share compelling case examples drawn from his extensive experience as an ethics consultant and expert witness in many social work litigation and licensing board cases throughout the U.S. He will offer practical tips designed to enhance the quality of supervision and reduce risk.
