Supervision requirements licensure vary widely by jurisdiction, creating a challenging environment for regulators and candidates alike. This report outlines the requirements to qualify as a social work supervisor in the 10 Canadian provinces and all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories of the Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam.  \nSupervisors must be licensed to perform clinical practice. Nearly universally, that means supervisors must hold a Masters of Social Work degree from a program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, have completed a period of supervised clinical practice experience, and pass the ASWB Clinical Examination. Some jurisdictions have statues or rules that clearly define areas of supervisor responsibilities, while others do not. Additional requirements for social work supervisors vary by jurisdiction and may include:  \n• Pre-approval from the licensing board  \n• A minimum amount of licensed practice, with varying amounts by jurisdiction  \n• Training requirements  \n• Continuing education requirements  \n• Statues or rules that define areas of supervisor responsibilities  \nThe Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) maintains a database of information on social work regulatory requirements in the United States and Canada which was used to create this report. The database is compiled from the statutes and administrative rules of the jurisdictions mentioned. Numbers and characters in the following charts are pulled from regulatory documents published by the various regulatory boards. They are included for reference. To learn more about a specific jurisdiction’s requirements, and for the most up-to-date regulatory information, go to the ASWB  Laws and Regulations Database to connect directly to a jurisdiction’s website, statutes and administrative rules.  \nSpecialized requirements  \nPre-approval  \nTwenty-four jurisdictions require supervisors to be pre-approved by the board:  \nAlabama  \nAlberta California Florida Kansas Kentucky  \nMaryland Minnesota  \nMississippi  \nMissouri  \nNevada  \nNew Hampshire  \nNew Mexico  \nNorth Dakota  \nNova Scotia Ohio Oklahoma South Carolina  \nTexas  \nUtah Virginia Washington West Virginia Wyoming  \nMinimum experience requirements  \nThirty-five jurisdictions specify the minimum experience required for a social worker to provide supervision as identified below.
