Safe learning environment charter – teaching and learning needs

Learners are supported by supervisors who are adequately prepared for the role and understand the underpinning principles regarding how individuals learn in a practice setting. They are recognised as learners rather than workers and enabled to develop towards independent practice.

Together, education and placement providers should:

Support supervisors and assessors in their roles.

Provide the resources required for learning in practice.

Be open to varied and dynamic education methods.

Practice supervisors/assessors should:

Role model supportive and compassionate supervision and assessment.

Utilise the wider multi professional team for learning opportunities.

Meet the individual learner’s needs and be responsive, helping them achieve their potential.

Placement providers should:

Ensure supervisors and assessors are well trained and have dedicated time to perform their roles. Protect the supernumerary status for those who hold it.

Facilitate statutory breaks.

Learners should:

Be patient; learning takes time with repeated exposure.

Seek out opportunities and voice their needs.

Recognise that individual development is a lifelong skill.
