Supervisors are accountable for interventions and clinical decisions implemented by their supervisees. As clinical supervision gains stature as a specialized practice domain within mental health service delivery, evolving ethical standards and legal precedents have identified documentation as a standard of competent supervisory practice. This paper reviews existing templates for supervisor record-keeping. An illustrative case highlights the benefits of documentation for structuring supervision, overseeing supervisee clinical work, promoting their professional development, and providing risk management for the supervisor.
