This module consolidates the placement experience in Level 5 and will serve as a context for the Independent Project to be submitted after Easter in the final semester.
The module provides you with an opportunity to work with children and young people in a professional setting. The placements are organised by you in conjunction with relevant staff and provide you with a choice of approved setting, according to availability. Settings may include, for example, special school, day nursery, family support teams, out of school provision, libraries, community play or youth scheme, medical provision for children or young people.
You will be enabled to demonstrate your capacity to engage in the workplace alongside professionals and to learn by observing, doing and reflecting on their performance. You will learn to support your own development by keeping a learning journal or diary which incorporates targets and self-evaluation.
