Can I supervise a BSW student if I’m not an AASW eligible social worker?
No. A Field Educator – a qualified Social Worker (AASW eligible) with 2 or more years experience since graduation , must provide the formal or professional supervision . Experienced human services workers may share supervision with a qualified Social Worker meeting the Field Educator requirements. This could be a Social Worker from elsewhere in the agency who just provides the formal supervision sessions, or in a few placements some universities may be able to provide an external Field Educator.
