Acceptability is determined by the way in which the site reflects the criteria listed above.
After you and the Service Coordinator agree on a service site, you approach the contact person at the site. You and the contact person, or other appropriate staff member, draw up a contract which will detail your responsibilities at the service site and the number of hours you desire to work. The original copy of this contract will be given to the Service Coordinator and a copy will be given to the site supervisor. You will retain a copy as well. When you have accomplished the terms of the contract, the site contact person will be asked to evaluate you, in writing.
