De-Coding Ethics Part 2
Ethics scenario 2: a company asks you to keep an unprepared supervisee on a case — protect client safety, document, escalate.
Scenario 2: you tell your company a supervisee isn't ready, and they respond 'we don't have coverage, just keep them on the case.' Sherley walks the five-step response — prioritize the client's safety and treatment needs, describe the specific skill gap and its impact on care, recommend a safer plan (increase supervision, remove tasks, retrain, transition services), document, and escalate through clinical leadership, compliance, funder, licensure, or BACB if uncorrected — citing codes 1.03, 2.19, 3.03, and 3.16. Watch the full clip for the escalation logic.
