Placement Information

Students entering the practice learning area should be provided with all relevant information to enable them to engage in placement learning. Similarly, mentors should be fully informed regarding the student in their care as they will be responsible for supporting the learning and assessment of their practice. Click on the links below to access examples of resources designed to support both the student and mentor as they engage in practice learning and teaching.
