This discussion will highlight the importance of these elements in creating an effective learning environment. The workshop will also cover the specific ethical standards and principles that govern the supervisory relationship and process, ensuring that participants understand the frameworks underpinning their professional responsibilities.

Practical application will be emphasized as participants learn to apply supervisory ethical codes in diverse supervisory scenarios, developing problem-solving skills to navigate ethical dilemmas. Finally, the workshop will address how to adapt supervisory approaches to meet the unique needs of supervisees, promoting reflective practice and facilitating their ongoing professional development. Whether transitioning into a supervisory role or looking to enhance your supervisory practice, this workshop provides the foundational knowledge and practical skills you need to succeed.
