Clinical Supervision Rule Changes: Considerations for School Social Workers

Utah's 2026 clinical supervision rule changes introduced new requirements that may affect how school social workers structure supervision, document clinical work, and pursue independent licensure.

This member resource provides school-specific considerations for understanding the new rules, including guidance on qualifying clinical activities, job descriptions, documentation, supervision arrangements, and practical questions to discuss with your clinical supervisor. It is designed to help members think through how the updated requirements may apply in school settings while recognizing that individual roles and supervision arrangements vary.

This document is intended as an educational resource and should be used alongside the applicable statutes, administrative rules, DOPL guidance, and consultation with your clinical supervisor.
