Practice Education learning is based on the Practice Educator Professional Standards (PEPS) which are an ‘employer endorsed’ set of standards meaning employers can endorse whether professionals have met the standards.

Social work professionals who Practice Supervise a social work student on placement need to complete the relevant Practice Education learning, in this case: Practice Supervisors – Practice Education Stage 1.

This will be a five day programme of workshops and reflective group supervision led by our Practice Education Consultants (PECs).

The programme will run between September 2022 and March 2023 - Dates are subject to change

The in-house Practice Education Stage 1 programme is not accredited and does not carry PG level credits or count towards post-graduate awards at the Universities.

The course is for practitioners with minimal experience of teaching and assessing others who wish to develop their skills.

You will be a Practice Supervisor assigned to a social work student while undertaking the course.

You will not have full responsibility for the assessment of the student as you will work alongside a Stage 2 qualified Practice Educator.

The module has been designed to meet Practice Educator Professional Standards(PEPS) for Social Work.

You will learn via a range of teaching methods including workshops and group discussion.

You must also be in a position where you can be observed fulfilling practice assessments and teaching on at least one separate occasion by an experienced Practice Educator.

Learning outcomes

The module is designed to run alongside a student placement, enabling you the opportunity to gain relevant information – as well as advice and support as the placement progresses.

You will also have the confidence and competence to directly supervise, teach and assess social work students up to (but not including) final assessment prior to qualification.
