Work placement resource

The online resource has been created to support staff involved in placement activities or those who are considering introducing work placements into programmes or modules. The resource aims to: • Save staff time • Provide examples of best practices • Enable staff to share ideas. The site hosts current national guidance and examples of good practice; university guidelines, including risk assessment and health and safety; current staff activity and placement FAQs. The strategic context of the resource is to help staff engage in activities which embody the University’s academic signature, specifically activities which “have an applied, professional or vocational focus which contributes directly to employability” and also “ respond directly to the desire to develop confident individuals with high quality achievements, skills and attributes that are valued by students, employers, the sector and the community”
