Per our legal department, students cannot transport clients in their own vehicles. They are allowed to transport clients in agency vehicles (that are marked as such) with the written consent of the agency allowing for student interns to transport on behalf of the agency, and are covered by the agency insurance.

Hello Everyone,
I am writing to see if anyone has any policies that they implement in their Field Education program regarding students transporting clients during their practicum.
This has come up in some Community agencies, that offer a lot of case management
Thank you for any feedback or suggestions that you may be able to offer
Thank you
