Subject: CSWE's Position on Field Placement Compensation
Hi all,
CSWE recently released a statement on field placement compensation. We welcome you to share any thoughts and comments here in Spark.
Faculty, administrators, and students can reference a recently updated statement on field placements for guidance regarding why these educational experiences are structured as learning-not labor-and are not required to offer stipends or compensation for students. Field placements are courses that afford students the opportunity to engage with clients and communities as a component of their educational program and without a social work license, similarly to educational, medical, or other health professional accredited programs.
Please see the attached document for the full statement.
