Portfolio Structure Practice Learning Agreement (Student Lead) Central Evidence Document (Regular entries) Midway Report Central Evidence Document (Regular entries) Final Report Formal Direct Obs. Formal Direct Obs. Final Reflective Analysis/ Service User Feedback Formal Direct Obs. (Lev6)
Discussion points 2 How is it working out? • Use of professional judgement • Profile of SOPS/ PCF • Moving away from template • Balancing word counts limiting assessment
