Ethical Compass℠ Supervisor Starter Kit

The Ethical Compass℠ Supervisor Starter Kit is a practical companion packet for using the free Ethical Compass℠ Supervision Tool with more confidence, structure, and care.

This downloadable kit is designed for social workers, supervisors, supervisees, field instructors, and helping professionals who want clearer supervision conversations, stronger ethical reflection, and better documentation planning.

Inside, you’ll find structured guidance and printable supports for:

• preparing for supervision

• reviewing ethical dilemmas

• using the S.A.F.E.R. Decision Path℠

• thinking through consultation needs

• reviewing dual relationships and boundary concerns

• organizing mandated reporting and risk review questions

• preparing quarterly supervision check-ins

• strengthening documentation habits

• identifying follow-up steps after supervision

This starter kit is meant to support reflective practice. It gives you a clearer way to slow down, organize the concern, name the ethical questions, identify what needs consultation, and prepare for the human supervision conversation with more focus.

This resource does not replace licensed clinical supervision, legal advice, emergency services, mandated reporting duties, agency policy, malpractice or risk consultation, or licensing board requirements.
