Social Work

Transporting Clients

The University and the School of Social Work do not allow any social work intern to transport any client, family member, significant other, etc.  Some field agencies request the social work student to transport clients because it is suggested that this task provides an opportunity to have one-on-one time with the client(s).  While this may be true, even when the agency is willing to add the student as an approved driver to its insurance policy and provide an agency vehicle, transporting clients is still prohibited. Both the student and the field supervisor (as representative of the agency) must abide by this policy.
