liaison to make up the absences in a subsequent semester, then the grade of I(Incomplete) will be entered by the faculty liaison and removed once the absences aremade up.Student Continuation in the Agency and/or with Clients of the Agency after the End of thePlacementOccasionally, agencies seek to employ a student with whom they have worked in thepracticum. Should that situation arise while the student is still in the practicum, thestudent and the field instructor must bring that to the attention of the School bydiscussing those arrangements with the faculty liaison. In such instances, the facultyliaison will assure that the necessary safeguards are in place to protect the integrity of thelearning experience of the student. Should the point of employment be after thetermination of the practicum, no special arrangements will need to be made.Following the end of a student's practicum, it is strongly recommended that the studentnot continue to provide service in the agency as a volunteer. Only in response to arequest by the agency, and only in rare circumstances even then, should a student everplan to continue to render professional services to a client to whom he/she was assignedas part of the practicum.Student Continuation of Practice Initiated During the Practicum but not Continued Underthe Auspices of the AgencyContinuation of service to clients of the agency after the completion of the practicum,unless specifically requested to do so by the agency, will be considered a breach ofprofessional social work ethics.Professional EthicsIt is understood that students will adhere to the expected standards for professional,ethical conduct and to the agency's policies and procedures as long as these are not inconflict with the NASW Code of Ethics. The NASW Code of Ethics is included asAppendix F for reference concerning the expected standards for professional conduct. Asalient issue for students during the practicum is that of confidentiality of case recordsand recordings. Students are expected to review their work with clients (tapes, writtenmaterials) and agency records pertinent to their assignments as an important componentof their preparation for work with clients and supervisory sessions with field instructors.However, the supervisory review of student work does not extend to anyone outside theagency, EXCEPT the faculty liaison. In short, UNDER NO OTHERCIRCUMSTANCES than their private review or presentation to the faculty liaison, maystudents remove client information, interview recordings (written, audio taped orvideotaped), evaluation summaries, etc., from the agency without the explicit writtenpermission of the field instructor. Students must make every endeavor to remove clientidentifiers from materials to ensure confidentiality.24
A student's failure to adhere to the expected standards for professional, ethicalconduct will be considered grounds for termination of the practicum, a failing gradein the practicum and termination of the student from the MSW program.Cultural CompetenceAs set forth in the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) policy standards, studentsare expected to engage in culturally competent practice. Standards for culturallycompetent practice can be found in Appendix G.Policy ConflictsShould conflicts arise between agency and School practicum policies, the field instructorand/or the student should immediately notify the faculty liaison who will endeavor towork out a solution that is satisfactory to both the agency and the School. No alternativepolicy may be established which conflicts with the Memorandum of Understandingestablished between the University and the agency.II. THE PLACEMENT PROCESSThe responsibility for approving and selecting agencies and initiating placementarrangements rests with the Field Education Office. STUDENTS ARE NOT TOCONTACT AGENCIES WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE FIELD OFFICEFACULTY. Field education faculty assesses the suitability of agencies as studenttraining sites and approves those that meet the School’s requirements. Only Schoolapprovedsites can be used for field education.Field education faculty routinely gathers information from approved agencies as to thenumber of students that can be effectively accommodated, the type and variety of practiceassignments afforded, the availability of qualified supervision, and other pertinent data.Field education staff and faculty work cooperatively with agencies to enlarge andimprove opportunities for field placements.The timeline for placement of foundation students is provided in Chapter 4. The timelinefor the placement of concentration students is provided in Chapter 5.The field education faculty will arrange the placement matches between student andagency. Students will be assigned to interview at one agency and the responsibility of“being accepted” rests with the student. If there is not a match, the field faculty willdiscuss feedback from interviews with the student and arrange another placementinterview. If a student is not accepted by an agency after a reasonable number (amaximum of 3 interviews) of ‘good faith’ matches, an academic review can be requestedto examine options. If the student declines the placement after the interview(concentration students), the student can not then request to be placed at that agencyshould subsequent interviews be less desirable.25
