Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A school counselor has a duty of care to a student when a "special relationship" exists, meaning that the counselor has assumed a role that creates a responsibility to act with care towards the student. This duty of care extends beyond just being on school property and cannot be fulfilled simply by having a parent sign a consent form. It is not related to avoiding lawsuits or any personal fondness between the two.
