1. Identify a Prescribed Intervention Area that you have not experienced, or have experienced but wish to revisit to further or broaden your experience.
2. Refer to the relevant chapter in this Student Training Opportunities Directory and identify the training opportunity that most closely matches your requirements.
3. Where the training opportunity offered is for a single student, contact the host training provider through the contact officer name given, and make a mutually convenient appointment. Where the training opportunity offered is on a group visit basis contact Alastair Tomlinson (agtomlinson@uwic.ac.uk or on 02920 201528) at UWIC, who will make the necessary arrangements for a group visit to take place. Where a group visit is indicated students should not make individual contact with the host training provider.
4. Attend at the host training provider on the agreed date and time, ensuring that you take with you any items listed in the ‘Special Requirements’, and that you are familiar with any of the information indicated as being important in the ‘Additional Comments’ to the visit.
5. Whilst on the visit make sure that you obtain all of the material that you will need to submit as evidence in support of your having achieved a suitable level of understanding in the Intervention Area. This may include photographs, sketches, copies of reports or protocols or copies of complaints. Your evidence should be as complete as possible to preclude the need for a revist to be made to the host provider at a later date.
6. If, for any reason you are unable to attend at the host training provider in accordance with an agreed visit you should contact the provider as soon as possible to advise to that effect, in order to ensure that no unnecessary arrangements are made by them in anticipation of your visit.
7. At the end of the visit ensure that the host provider supplies you with a completed Record of Training Certificate, which you should retain and submit with your portfolio of evidence.
