Direct supervision: the workplace supervisor must observe the registrant’s day-to-day work, or the particular element(s) of the registrant’s work, as prescribed in the relevant condition or undertaking. The workplace supervisor must always be on site and available to directly observe the specified element(s) when the registrant is working. Where the workplace supervisor is unavailable through illness or planned absence, the registrant must not carry out the specified element(s) of their work unless an approved alternative workplace supervisor is in place. Conditions or undertakings will specify which element(s) of a registrant’s practice to observe. The workplace supervisor must review the registrant’s work at least twice a week in one-to-one meetings using case-based discussions. These meetings must focus on all areas of concern identified by the conditions or undertakings. These meetings can be in person or via video conferencing.
