Personal safety plan for the field education experience
In social work profession, personal safety is important in field education. Social workers and students are often run into risky situations, especially when dealing with emotionally volatile, threatening, and distraught clients (Birkenmaier, & Berg-Weger, 2018). In 2011 study done by Regehr and Glancy, 87% of social worker participants reported experiencing verbal harassment, 28% reported being assaulted, and 63% reported receiving threats of physical harm. Therefore, having personal safety plan during field education experiences is important for my own benefit.
In my personal safety plan, I try to create an environment that is safe by dressing in items that are not flashy to avoid attracting attention and theft. I always try to stay calm and mind my tone when out in the field or the client’s home. I also ensure my supervisor is aware and knows my whereabouts whenever I go out in the field. This involves meeting my supervisor before going out in the field. For home visitation, I do visit only during daytime. When visiting places with perceived safety threats, such as high risk neighborhoods and unfamiliar neighborhoods, I must have accompany.
An explanation of how your personal safety plan might differ from your agency safety plan during your field education experience
My safety plan is very much aligned with the safety plan of the agency. Workplace safety is prioritized by the agency. The social workers are expected to take personal safety serious by informing the agency their whereabouts when in the field. The agency recommends having accompany whenever doing home visitations or visiting high-risk neighborhoods. The agency also advises wearing items that are provocative or attack possible theft. It is required of social workers and interns to report to the supervisor if one receives threats or fears their own safety.
