A registered social worker who is on the general registry (not the provisional registry) may provide practice supervision and complete the supervisor reference form to ensure you are a safe and competent social worker. If your practice supervisor is on the provisional registry, your supervised practice hours will not be recognized.
A registered social worker in another recognized jurisdiction may provide practice supervision (but they may also require courtesy registration with the ACSW). However, supervision done outside of Alberta might not make you aware of the norms and expectations in this province.
Please ensure that your practice supervisor is not a family member, in-law, or partner and is a different person from whoever gave you a character reference at the time of application.
