Safe learning environment charter – communication

Learners have a clear pathway for support from both the education provider and the placement provider. They know by whom, when and how that support is delivered.

Together, education and placement providers should:

Plan sessions to provide input and additional learning opportunities for learners, supervisors/assessors.

Ensure learner display boards are maintained and offer essential information.

Role model professional communication, which supports professional boundaries.

Develop innovative solutions for learners to communicate with placement and education staff.

Placement providers should:

Ensure regular learner forums are held with senior leaders in attendance to develop quality improvement solutions.

Share relevant internal communications about patient safety advances in practice.

Education providers should:

Provide in-person support to learners and supervisors to reduce the chances of small queries escalating.

Learners should:

Complete local placement surveys and the National Education and Training Survey (NETS) to provide feedback about placement experiences.
