Expectations about the service relationship including assessment and client/practitioner roles

Expectations about the service relationship including assessment and client/practitioner roles

Locate and review an informed consent document used by a social work or human service agency in your area. It can be from your place of employment, your field placement site, an organization where you volunteer, or a similar organization. You do not need to name the organization in your assignment, but briefly describe the services it provides and any specific populations served (e.g., youth, immigrants, seniors, LGBTQ, etc.).

2. Write a single-page critique of the agency’s form using the standards for informed consent described by Corey, Corey, and Corey (2019), Chapter 5. Your mini-paper should follow APA formatting guidelines and include an evaluative assessment of the following elements:

• Expectations about the service relationship including assessment and client/practitioner roles
• Background of the practitioner(s)
• Potential risks and benefits to clients
• Confidentiality expectations and exceptions
• Duration of the service relationship
• Costs and/or payment expectations
• Opportunity for clients to ask questions
• Create your own (i.e., original) version of the consent form resolving each of the concerns you identified in your one-page critique
