other in Year 3) are normally within a 50 mile radius and arranged by the Placements Officer in consultation with the student and the personal tutor.

The range of placements varies from rural communities to inner city areas. You might be with a statutory agency such as a local authority, a Health Trust or Housing Department for one block placement and then with a large national charity or a small-scale local voluntary organisation for the other. Your placement might be in a residential or day care setting, a fieldwork team, a community-based neighbourhood project or a user-led organisation.

During each placement, you receive supervision from a practice teacher who assesses your competence and contributes to the reports submitted at the end of each placement. Placements are assessed by means of a portfolio of work compiled by you.
