Distance-based good news
The Social Work Professional Liability Insurance policy sponsored by NASW Assurance Services provides coverage worldwide, as long as the claim is made and the suit is brought in the United States, its territories, possessions, Puerto Rico or Canada. Therefore, it's not necessary to purchase another policy for internet, phone/telecommunication practice.
Distance-based caveat 1
However, because of the changing atmosphere and unprecedented legislation regarding the internet, it is imperative that you keep abreast of current events concerning your methods of practice.
Distance-based caveat 2
In addition, taking great care to prevent a breach of privacy regarding client confidentiality should be of utmost concern. It is recommended that documentation not be accessible through the internet.
Distance-based bad news
…coverage would be excluded for a wrongful act committed while you did not have a license as required by law. You must be practicing legally for the policy to afford coverage.
Touch as a model?
Social workers should not engage in physical contact with clients when there is a possibility of psychological harm to the client as a result of the contact (such as cradling or caressing clients). Social workers who engage in appropriate physical contact with clients are responsible for setting clear, appropriate, and culturally sensitive boundaries that govern such physical contact.
Next steps – Coaching and social work
Can / should any situations be carved out as non social work?
