Which content belongs in supervision notes?

• A. Supervisory guidance, decisions, and reflections
• B. Client's medical history only
• C. Personal grievances of the worker
• D. Administrative tasks only

Answer: (A)

Supervision notes should capture supervisory guidance, decisions, and reflections from the session. They provide a record of what the supervisor advised, any decisions reached about the case, and the supervisee’s reflections and plan for next steps. This supports accountability, continuity of care, and professional development by showing why actions were taken and what will be done next, including safety considerations and ethical notes. The client’s medical history belongs in the client’s health record, not in supervision notes, and personal grievances of the worker are not appropriate content for supervision notes. Administrative tasks may be noted, but the focus should be on guidance, decisions, and reflections that guide practice, not on routine paperwork alone. Include dates, participants, decisions, and follow-up actions to keep the record clear.
