In this module you will be working towards the HCPC standards of Proficiency https://www.hcpc-uk.org/standards/standards-of-proficiency/reviewing-the-standards-of-proficiency/download-the-revised-standards-of-proficiency/ as well as gaining knowledge about how the Local Authority organised. You will further develop your knowledge about the structures and deployment of Services for children and young people in the community, as well as other issues in schools that affect children’s educational experiences, at class and whole school level. You will be expected to take on a caseload under supervision. There is a close relationship with skills taught in PSYC 8045 Consultation, Assessment and Intervention 2 where these skills are taught.

The core content of this module is delivered on placement where you apply the knowledge and understanding acquired in year 1 in a wider Local Authority Context. In some cases, this may be virtual. Practice is supervised regularly by a Local Authority Supervisor whose role it is to ensure that you undertake activities which match and extend your developing casework skills. There are close links between placement and the University through regular placement meetings.
