Follow links for further sessions in the Practice Assessor Programme and the Practice Educator Programme.
Course Outline: This course focuses on both the refreshed PEPS 2022 facilitated by BASW and the new ASYE Portfolio Paperwork launched by Skills for Care for September 2022. The aim of the session is to support PE’s and Assessors to identify what is new and what it means in practice for both the PE/Assessor and the student/NQSW. There is a focus on diversity, empowerment and supporting each and every student/NQSW as a unique person. There is also a helpful run through of new paperwork, how to complete it and what moderation panels will consider.
Learning Methods: This training is delivered using an online interactive classroom approach and all delegates will be expected to take part to ensure an effective adult learning experience. Using whiteboards and breakout rooms, a combination of learning methods will be used throughout the day, including trainer presentation and group work in the form of case studies and reflection dilemmas to support application to practice. Local templates and expectations will be embedded in the programme where required and appropriate.
Learning Outcomes: This course will provide participants with the following learning outcomes:
• An understanding of the PEPS Refresh 2022
• An understanding of the new ASYE Paperwork
• An opportunity to reflect on how to identify individual needs and respond to them in an empowering and proactive manner.
• An opportunity to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of your own practice
• A helpful guide to what’s new and what’s not, where to find it and what to do with it
Delegate Requirements : All delegates will need access to a laptop/desktop for the whole session, a functioning microphone and camera, and a strong stable internet connection to allow effective participation. Delegates will need a quiet place to work, largely free of interruptions so they can unmute to contribute. Delegates will need to be present for the entire session unless by arrangement, this is to maximise their own learning and not detract from the experience of others. Where courses include a request for skills practice (i.e., Court Skills or Motivational Interviewing) taking part in the practice element of the course is mandatory. Where possible delegates should be using the Microsoft Teams Desktop App and have ensured it is fully updated. Laptops/Desktops should have an up-to-date Browser such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge other browsers are not fully supported. We require the work/Teams email addresses of delegates 7 days prior to the training to allow us to send calendar invites, joining instructions and course materials. Delegates are advised to download the resources prior to the course and will need them accessible on the day. For customers who have large or specialist contracts with us, we are also able to create a resource library for your organisation within our MS Teams Platform, delegates can ‘opt in’ to this added value service and they will be given a ‘DCC-I Guest Account’ and details on how to join it.
Please note – for health and safety reasons it is not appropriate to access these courses from a mobile phone. Whilst tablets can be used; delegates will find a laptop/desktop is easier as functionality on tablets are still limited.
Diverse Needs: At DCC-I we are happy to support delegates with any additional learning needs. Any learning or other needs should be notified to crew@dcc-i.co.uk at least 48 hours prior to the course commencing to allow time for the preparation of any specific materials.
