ACAP Placement Program Agreement

The ACAP Placement Program requires students to work in conjunction with other staff members across a broad range of programs.

For this reason the following requirements are essential in all applicants. Failure to demonstrate high levels of each attribute will result in the placement being cancelled:

  • Professionalism and clear adherence to boundaries - Students are given clear instructions by staff as to what their role is with clients. This is purely the role of counsellor and as such students must not advocate on behalf of the client for referrals etc.
  • Strong attention to detail – Students must be aware of safety practices such as locking doors behind them. This is for the safety of students/staff and clients
  • Professionalism and clear adherence to boundaries – Students are given clear instructions as to their role with clients. Therefore it is important to be mindful of professional boundaries in all interactions with clients.
  • Ability to work independently – Launch Housing is an extremely busy agency and students are expected to be able to work independently of their supervisor while following instructions precisely.
  • Punctuality – Clients are scheduled with reference to available staff and rooms. Late arrivals by students are disruptive to this schedule.
  • Dress Code -Students are to comply with the dress code of their placement agency.
  • Workplace Health and Safety -Students are to comply with all health and safety practices of their placement agency. If the policy is not offered at orientation, please ask for a copy of all relevant policies.

I have read and will adhere to the above for the duration of my student placement. Failure to demonstrate high levels of each attribute may result in the placement being cancelled
