All community staff are welcome to contribute to the discussion and I would welcome the addition of essential news items to aid to this site. It is not intended that this site will replace face to face contact but it is an additional resource to help students and mentors get the most out of practical placements.

    I have a questions about the Ongoing achievement record. How many pieces of evidence is a student expected to present for each competency?

    Hello Joe, It is down to the mentor to decide how much evidence is acceptable as the mentor needs to ensure that the student has achieved their competency consistency in a variety ways

    I am currently a sign off mentor. However last attended a mentor update 2 years ago and have been sent something about a triennial review. Do I need to do anything?

    Hello Jane, Yes every mentor needs a yearly update one of which must be face to face. You need to contact your Placement Learning Support Unit who will bel able to advise when the next training days are happening. In terms of the triennial review all mentors had have a triennial review with their trust manager every 3 years. To reach the requirements of the triennial review you must mentor two students in three years, have an annual mentor update and complete the triennial review.
