Why is there a requirement that a social worker must possess the LCSW-C license for 18 months prior to supervising others for advanced licensure?
The Board feels that an 18 month period will provide sufficient time for a social worker to become more acclimated to the responsibilities associated with the LCSW or LCSW-C level of licensure. A more knowledgeable and confident social worker will be able to provide a more professional level of supervision to others seeking advanced licensure. Back to Top If I am unable to obtain supervisory hours from a LCSW or LCSW-C supervisor in my agency can I go outside of the agency to obtain supervision which will qualify for licensure at one of the advanced levels? Yes. Arrangements to obtain supervision for licensure at one of the advanced levels can be made within or outside of the agency. All supervision must be under an employment contract and the supervision must be accountable to the employer. Please refer to social work regulations Title 10 Subtitle 42 Chapter 01 Section .02 Items (7) and (9) and Section .04 Items C. and D.
