Description	The module provides students with an opportunity to work with children and young people in a professional setting. The placements are organised by students themselves with support from members of staff and Careers colleagues. The placements provide students with a choice of approved setting, according to availability. Settings may include, for example, special school, day nursery, family support team, out of school provision, community play or youth scheme, medical provision for children or young people and Educational Psychology settings, including research settings. Students are enabled to demonstrate their capacity to engage in the workplace alongside professionals and to learn by observing, doing and reflecting on their performance. They learn to support their own development by keeping a learning journal or diary which incorporates targets and self-evaluation.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module, students should be able to: Demonstrate a developing understanding of professional principles, practices and values, both generally and in the context of the placement setting; Promote the well-being of children/young people in the setting, with due regard to child protection issues, health and safety requirements and anti-discriminatory practice; Work alongside a group of practitioners and contribute to the work of the team; Observe and acknowledge competent professional practice in the setting, with increasing understanding; Demonstrate a developing ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, children/young people and (where relevant) parents and carers; Reflect on his or her own performance, showing insight and intellectual honesty; Learn from day-to-day experience by setting targets for improvement and evaluating progress
