Principles of practice-based learning.
We want to make it easier for everyone involved in practice-based learning to come together and create placements that work for all.
The CSP has worked with the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) to develop this set of seven principles. They can be applied by everyone involved in practice-based learning: students and apprentices; university representatives; practice educators; service leads; business owners and many more.
They offer an opportunity to connect, understand different perspectives and identify areas for joined up working.
