Tripartite reviews

Tripartite reviews will be conducted every 12 weeks as per ESFA guidelines. The purpose of tripartite reviews is to monitor and review clear goals that have been set by yourself, your practice assessor and your academic assessor. It is extremely important for you and your practice assessor to diarise these tripartite reviews in advance and plan for them. Any issues regarding availability for those scheduled tripartite review dates must be raised immediately with the tripartite review coordinator. If your practice assessor is unavailable then an alternative cover arrangement must be made to comply with the 12-week rule. You must set clear goals for your tripartite in advance of the meeting in Section A or Part B of your e-portfolio. All tripartite documentation meeting notes must be recorded in Part B of your e-portfolio. Your supervisor must also complete section C or Part B of the e-portfolio. 

If your Practice Assessor or Practice Supervisor has concerns regarding your conduct or achievement they will in the first instance meet with you to discuss this. An additional tripartite review meeting can then be arranged which will also involve your Academic Assessor, your Practice Assessor, and if necessary the Practice Placement Facilitator (PPF) or Practice Education Facilitators (PEF). The PPF and PEFs will be your nominated person to address concerns raised. It may be decided at that point that an action plan is required with clear timescales for improvement given. This will then be documented within your EOAR and signed by all parties. It may be necessary for your personal supervisor to make a referral to the Fitness to Practise Committee.
