The Immigration Advice Authority (formerly OISC) has published an updated version of their guidance note on supervision. The note covers supervising someone who wants to move to a higher advice or increase their competencies, supervising trainee advisers working at level 1 under supervision, the different types of supervisor – principal and individual, what to do when the supervisor is absent and the process for becoming an authorised supervisory organisation. It also explains the need for a supervision plan and what this should contain, as well as how to assess a supervisee and what records should be kept.

Many of the changes are to reflect the name change and new code of standards but this is a good opportunity for all those who are supervising immigration advisers regulated by the Authority to review what is required of them to ensure ongoing compliance. You can see all the changes here.
