Student Safety AgreementsStudent Safety Agreement • October 2nd, 2021
Contract Type FiledOctober 2nd, 2021Field agencies and organizations are responsible for communicating a plan of safety for any and all students confirming a placement with them. Since most agencies and organizations have existing safety procedures, policies, or practices they should feel free to refer to that which already exists. However, it is important that field instructors and students discuss general plans for safety within the first two weeks of the field placement. Safety issues could include things like approaches to working with potentially violent or unpredictable client situations, making home visits to places where the student may be unwelcome or there is doubt about the acceptance of the visit, working with clients who are incarcerated or on furlough for violent assaults, and responses to threatening statements, letters, phone calls, e-mails or other communications directed to the student or other agency personnel.
