Bbs New Requirements

And as of January 1, the PCC license requirement will be removed for 150 hours of experience in a hospital or community environment. Specific requirements for the assessment or treatment of couples or families are also removed for CCPs. These changes underscore the Board`s priority setting and understanding of the important role supervisors play in the professional development and quality assurance of future therapists. We believe supervisors and customers will benefit from these new requirements. All supervisors in all three occupations, regardless of when they started supervising, must take 6 hours CE in supervision in each licence renewal cycle. Previous BBS oversight rules required CSW regulators to initially work 15 hours without request; CCP and MFT regulators were initially required to complete 6 hours and 6 hours each renewal cycle. Since these requirements were based on the supervisor`s license path rather than the supervisor`s license type, the inconsistency had regularly led to confusion and problems. As of January 1, 2022, new supervisors must complete and submit a self-assessment by the supervisor within 60 days of the start of the monitoring. Those who have already actively supervised have until the end of 2022 to submit the self-assessment. (Technically, the document must be received by BBS before 1.1.2023.) The self-assessment form requires supervisors to review the various monitoring requirements and confirm that they have met them. It must be signed under penalty of perjury.

The 1. As of January 2022, a significant number of changes went into effect that affect surveillance in California. Some of these changes are intended to simplify documentation for apprentices and employees, while others are more important and add new requirements for supervisors and supervisors. The overall goal of these changes is to enrich the professional development of supervisors and ultimately improve customer service. If a supervisor is not directly employed by the supervisor`s employer (a situation that sometimes occurs in not-for-profit organizations and district authorities where supervision is not offered, so the supervisor hires his or her supervisor), there must be a supervision agreement between the supervisor and the supervisor`s employer.

This agreement authorizes the supervisor, among other things, to review the files and discuss the cases he or she is dealing with. It also includes a statement from the employer that it will not intervene in the monitoring. New rules from 1 January 2022 set out specific substantive requirements for this supervisory agreement. Where a monitoring agreement is required, it must be concluded before the start of monitoring.
