What should I do if I think my student is at risk of failing the placement overall?

This can be a stressful situation for both you and your student. The most important step is to alert university staff as soon as possible. There is no need to wait until the halfway evaluation if concerns are evident earlier.

Your university may have a specific process they would like you to follow. This may include completing the Concerns Exist form (found immediately after Summary feedback at final evaluation in the SPEF-R2©). The form asks you to detail your specific concerns, and any strategies you may have already put into place. It also clarifies the type of support you are seeking.

Remember, the earlier you contact your university, the more time your student has to obtain support and to address the concerns you have identified. You will also benefit from support offered early, before things seem to be at crisis point.

What do I do if I think my student may fail?
