Team around the student: Role of Team Managers & Senior Practitioners in student placements.

Part of our Team around the student 2024 Webinar series. This webinar is aimed at any Team Manager or Senior Practitioner who has responsibility for supervising a staff member who is acting as a Practice Educators, an On-Site Supervisor, or who has staff who might like to undertake these roles.
In the climate of more flexible working patterns, greater ability to work at home, dispersed teams and fewer in person activities in certain sectors the need for a creative whole team approach to student placements is greater than ever. This training aims to increase manager’s confidence in their ability to provide high quality student placements within their team and to re imagine how a team approach is possible in the current working environment.
The webinar will consider key factors which can enhance the placement experience for the student social worker as well as offering greater support to those acting as Practice Educators or On-Site Supervisors. Topics will include: planning for placement ( eg preparing the team, suitable learning opportunities, expectations of placements) and the placement experience ( eg allocation of work, contributing to assessments, supporting staff).
