Practice Learning - Generic

Student practice discussion group:
This is an issue based discussion group for students across a range of user groups led by practice teachers and link workers. Students are encouraged to discuss policy, theory, practice and specific issues. (E.g. limits to confidentiality, integrating theory and practice).

Students are given the opportunity to evidence their knowledge and discuss practice. The students' individual contributions and performance are recorded and fed back to the student and practice teacher. This feedback can be included in the student's portfolio and cited as evidence of ways they have met Key Capabilities. The student can also reflect on their own contribution and those from other members of the group and consider these in supervision or their learning logs.

The topics for discussion in the group can be focused on child care and protection and aspects of Key Capabilities.
(Students should be encouraged to make links with live examples from their own practice.)
