Practice learning

Practice experience failure

In the event that you fail to demonstrate consistent competency in the learning outcomes in practice you will be required to agree an action plan with your practice assessor and academic assessor, which must normally be achieved by Week 4 of the subsequent practice assessed period. You must go on to successfully complete this practice placement. Failure to do so may result in a recommendation for discontinuation from the programme.

There are two elements to your practice assessment, grading of practice and a written reflective piece. You are required to pass both elements to pass the practice assessment. If either of these two elements are not completed/submitted by the assessment deadline, and you do not have exceptional circumstances to explain why these are being completed/submitted late, the assessment will be graded as a fail.
