Field Placement Policies and Guidelines - Professional Conduct Agreement | School of ECE Field Placement | Seneca Students

While participating in field placement, students are a representative of Seneca Polytechnic and are expected to maintain a high standard of professionalism. Students are required to follow the ethical practices outlined in the Childcare and Early Years Act, 2014 and adhere to College policies, including the Academic Integrity Policy, Discrimination and Harassment Policy, and Student Code of Conduct.

Students will ensure they implement and follow health and safety protocols during their placement. This includes being aware of the physical, emotional health, and safety needs of children and promptly alerting staff of any potential risky situations.

Students must be able to function independently at the required level to ensure the academic learning outcomes are met. Seneca Polytechnic and/or community partners have the right and responsibility to make decisions to end a field placement opportunity, if a student demonstrates behaviours that could interfere with the safety and well-being of children in their care.

Students adhere to and sign the School of ECE Field Placement Professional Conduct.
