20 CSR 2263-2.030 - Supervised Licensed Social Work Experience
(1)
Supervision of the applicant for licensure shall not begin, and will only be
acceptable to the committee, after the issuance of the license as a master
social worker or licensed baccalaureate social worker.
(2) The supervisor must have met the
requirements for an acceptable supervisor, as set out in
20 CSR
2263-2.031, at the time the supervision was
performed.
(3) Acceptable
supervised licensed social work experience has the following characteristics:
(A) Allowable supervision-
1. A minimum of two (2) hours every two (2)
weeks of individual face-to-face supervision by the supervisor;
2. However, individual face-to-face
supervision may be consolidated for up to four (4) weeks for a total of four
(4) hours of individual face-to-face supervision per four- (4-) week period.
These hours shall be included in the total number of supervised hours required
in subsection (3)(B). Fifty percent (50%) of supervision per month may be group
supervision;
3. For the purpose of
this rule, group supervision may consist of at least two (2) and no more than
six (6) supervisees; and
4. The use
of electronic communications is acceptable for meeting supervision requirements
of this rule only if the ethical standards for confidentiality are maintained
and communication is verbally and visually interactive between the supervisor
and the supervisee;
(B)
The minimum acceptable supervised experience shall be three thousand (3,000)
hours obtained in no less than twenty-four (24) and no more than forty-eight
(48) consecutive calendar months. The forty-eight- (48-) month time frame may
include periods of unemployment and/or part-time employment. The total time
frame is calculated in consecutive months, not the employment within that
period. Supervised experience toward the three thousand (3,000) required hours
which is not within a consecutive forty-eight- (48-) month period is not
eligible for submission toward licensure; and
(C) The practice of social work by the
supervisee shall be performed under the oversight, guidance, control, and full
professional responsibility of the supervisor approved by the committee, in
compliance with all laws and regulations relating to the practice of social
work. In the event the applicant fails to pre-approve their supervisor(s), or
are applying through reciprocity, the committee may review the supervision for
compliance and consideration for licensure.
(4) The committee may, in its discretion,
deny supervision hours not completed in compliance with this regulation,
20 CSR
2263-2.031, and
20 CSR
2263-2.032.
(5) An application for licensure must be
submitted pursuant to the rules promulgated by the committee upon completion of
the supervised social work experience. All applicants working clinically for
licensure must remain under approved supervision until the license is approved
by the committee.
