As a Placement Provider - What do I need to provide for the student?

The project has completed all its placements. This page is for information only.

Health & Safety Guidance:
Placement Providers are expected to provide a duty of care towards the student. The Scholarship of Engagement Project will prepare the student, and make them aware of the Health & Safety aspects that they should expect in the placement. You, the placement provider are expected to treat any students the same way as any employee, with regards to their Health and Safety, and welfare. You will also be expected to provide them with an induction for the workplace on Health & Safety matters, including fire regulations etc.

Student Provision:
Through negotiation with the University tutor coordinating the placement or the Project Manager, you will agree upon the specific tasks to be undertaken by the student, ensuring that these meet the assessment requirements of the placement for the student, and your specific needs.

On the first day of the placement, a Partnership Agreement form should be signed. The Agreement sets out all of the terms and conditions related to the placement including each parties' responsibilities and is signed by all three parties namely: the student, the University tutor and the placement provider.
