Student Education Induction Pack

This induction pack is to help you as a learner to familiarise yourself with the team. It provides you with the basics about the team and should help you to plan to meet your learning needs.

We recommend that all learners contact the team in good time prior to placement to identify who will be supervising your learning and confirm start times/hours.

During your placement you should have a minimum of a preliminary, midpoint and final meeting with whoever is supervising your learning. You should also undertake some form of leaning analysis then produce a learning contract and or action plan that provide structure and direction to the time you are with us. Your supervisor will be able to help draw this together but you must take a lead in negotiating your plan. Some examples of these tools are provided but you may wish to use those produced by your education provider.

Please ensure that you present any documents regarding your placement with our staff on the first day of your placement. This should include any assessment document, learning outcomes you hope to achieve and any type of ongoing record of achievement.

On completion of your placement you will be asked to provide an evaluation. Please take time to complete this openly and honestly as it is only with your feedback can we improved the quality of these valuable learning experiences.

We hope you find the time on your placement enjoyable and productive.
