If this is the case, the registrant may not be safe to practise without daily contact from a supervisor or without having the option of seeking assistance from a supervisor on site. In those circumstances it may be appropriate to deny a registrant the right to work single-handedly, for the protection of the public. **Directly supervised 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.
