CSC Code of Practice

The CSC Code of Practice applies to all educational programs and other services provided by Clinical Supervision Consultancy.

Clinical Supervision Consultancy celebrates and respects the expertise and varied perspectives of all people.

Our work aligns with all principles underpinning clinical supervision in the ‘Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for Clinical Supervisors’ (Australian Clinical Supervision Association, 2017).

Clinical supervision and the development of supervisors is provided in a consistently respectful way irrespective of “age, gender, race, national origin, religion, disability, sexuality, gender identity, political affiliation, marital, social, or economic status” (www.clinicalsupervision.org.au). 

Clinical Supervision Consultancy develops an agreement (Ways of Working) with participants for all activities.
