Student Field Placement and Internships – A Partner Provider that accepts students

Student Field Placement and Internships – A Partner Provider that accepts students for field placements or internships must: 1. Develop a written plan describing their tasks and functions. Copies of the plan must be provided to each student and their school. 2. Designate a staff member to supervise and evaluate the student. 3. Develop a plan for the orientation and training of student interns on the philosophy of the Partner Provider and the needs of the children in care. 4. Provide an opportunity for students to participate in developing and carrying out the service plans for the children and families they are working with directly. 5. Ensures students and interns do not assume the total responsibilities of any paid staff. 6. Ensure student field placement individuals or interns who work directly with children are screened in the same manner as staff with a criminal background check, MACWIS check, a Central Registry check, and fingerprinting.
