Work-based
Learning
Work-based learning/placements take a variety of forms and it is not, therefore,
desirable to have ‘one size fits all’ policy. The University's Work-based
Learning/Placement Guidelines are intended to be flexibly applied, depending on
the nature of the work-based learning/placement, while clearly articulating a
minimum expected standard. The guidelines, which are based upon best practice
nationally and the QAA’s Code of Practice, apply to all University of Essex
provision.

Placement Learning Whistleblowing procedure
This procedure
applies to all students registered
on courses involving professional practice placements, including health, social
work and education. The procedure supplements the University’s general Whistleblowing Policy. It relates to incidents occurring when on placement which
contravene relevant professional codes of practice, whether or not they are
directly related to the educational process and whether they involve a colleague
or an employer.

Breach of Professional Conduct,
Fitness to Practise and Termination of Training Procedure (for students
undertaking professional training courses)
All University students are required to comply with the
regulations of the University regarding conduct. Students enrolled on courses
where a practical professional placement is required (including health, social
work and education) have additional responsibilities placed upon them regarding
not only their conduct but also their professional suitability, as outlined in
relevant professional body codes of practice. Failure to meet these
responsibilities can lead to the
Breach of
Professional Conduct, Fitness to Practise and Termination of Training Procedure
(for students undertaking professional training courses) being
invoked. Students will be notified on enrolment if their course of study is
subject to the terms of this procedure.
