Participants will review key professional codes of ethics and regulatory guidelines across disciplines, gaining clarity on how these standards shape supervisory responsibilities. The session also examines the legal and ethical challenges supervisors commonly face, including issues related to liability, risk management, and professional accountability. By the end of this session, attendees will have a clearer understanding of the foundational principles that inform ethical supervision.
