In the third of a series of four articles on supervision, Sam Simpson and Cathy Sparkes outline overarching criteria to consider when setting up a supervisory relationship, including documentation, timing, location, personnel, funding, type and options for change. They go on to define three parameters – roles, responsibilities and boundaries – and emphasise the need to make these explicit at the outset of the supervisory relationship and at regular intervals throughout. They suggest two practical activities for readers to take the ideas forward.
