Lapse in supervision (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oversight

This clue is a double definition.

'lapse' is the first definition.
('oversight' can be a synonym of 'lapse')

'supervision' is the second definition.
('oversight' can be a synonym of 'supervision')

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for oversight that I've seen before include "Lapse" , "Innocent mistake" , "what supervisor has" , "Neglect" , "Failure to notice something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
