Moran vs Sec of State for Social Services (The Times, March 14, 1987,CA) held a supervisor could be in another room and even may be asleep, if they are so attuned to the needs of their patient that they would respond immediately by sensing the onset of it, in that case, a fit.

Moran vs Sec of State for Social Services was later reported as R(A)1/88.

Moran still holds good for a person being in a different room. However, I'm sure there is some recent caselaw which states that supervision cannot be given where a person is asleep. If I am not making it up, maybe someone can supply the reference.
