Undertake a practical placement of 80 hours over a period of between 10 and 20 weeks
Use of a reflective diary
Preparation of a placement report summarising personal outcomes
Structure
2 hours group workshop for preparation
4 one-hour tutorial support sessions spaced throughout the placement
Ongoing facilitation of participation in an online learning environment by the tutor will also have a teaching and support function.
The specific placement in practice will be planned and supervised to ensure that at least 80 hours of designated work in an approved setting are contributing to the learning outcomes identified.
Assessment
1st Attempt: The Placement supervisor's report and student's personal report of 2000 words must both be satisfactory.

The other components are assessed holistically for a CAS mark against the learning outcomes for the course.
