We&rsquo;re now developing the reporting process and guidance, and we&rsquo;ll consider the feedback received as part of that work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-2\" style=\"color:#1e22aa\"><strong>What&rsquo;s Changing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>All registrants (all practice settings)<\/strong><br>By-law 25 already requires registrants to report every location where they engage in practice. The amendments clarify that this includes every location where they provide services through supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Registrants who supervise services<\/strong><br>Registrants who supervise services will need to report:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>name and practice location of each person they supervise <\/strong>in non-institutional and non-training contexts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Registrants <strong>will not<\/strong> be required to report individual supervisees in institutional settings, such as hospitals, schools, universities, correctional facilities and community mental health centres, where other organizational oversight is already in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-3\" style=\"color:#1e22aa\"><strong>Why we\u2019re making this change<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">91ÊÓƵ doesn\u2019t currently have a complete way to identify who is providing services under supervision, where those services are provided, or which registrant is responsible for the supervised services. This creates an information gap and affects 91ÊÓƵ\u2019s ability to oversee the profession effectively and can also slow down complaint investigations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having more complete information will strengthen oversight and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-4\" style=\"color:#1e22aa\"><strong>What\u2019s Next<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new reporting requirements are not yet in effect, and <strong>no action is required at this time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will share implementation timelines and reporting guidance before the new requirements take effect. In the meantime, registrants should continue to keep their practice information up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-5\" style=\"color:#1e22aa\"><strong>Common Questions from the Consultation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several topics came up often in the consultation feedback.
