| Course description |
This second block placement will give students the opportunity to develop the capacity to make competent, confident and defensible judgements and to undertake further development towards the gradual transition into the field of practice. It aims to consolidate and integrate learning from earlier practice experience and the taught elements of the programme. Particular attention will be given to widening and deepening existing knowledge, critical understanding and practical skills. It offers the opportunity for students to engage in negotiated and sustained educational practice with groups and individuals. There is an expectation that students will systematically utilise theoretical frameworks in analysing and engaging with the policy context of practice. It should provide a challenging and supportive environment in which students can test their strengths and weaknesses as critically reflexive practitioners. |

Assessment Information
Fieldwork praractice will be assessed in the placement by the placement supervisor against professional requirements. This assessment will be on a pass/fail basis.
Students will also write a 3500 word paper in which they critically reflect on their placement experience and its relationship to the course curriculum.
Students will require a pass in both components for an overall pass for the course; the grade recorded will be the mark awarded for the written paper, unless the practice element has been assessed as a fail.
