Information regarding student placements

The request was partially successful.

Dear Moray College,

Following a recent FOI request to UHI, I have identified that you have students that carry out placements as part of their courses in the Applied Life Studies subject network on one or more of the following courses:

1. BSc (Hons.) Integrative Healthcare
2. BSc Oral Health Science
3. Diploma Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy
4. HNC Childhood Practice
5. HNC Social Services
6. HNC Care and Administrative Practice

The UHI Student Placement Policy & Guidance document states:

"4.3 APs are required to keep a record of all placement activities. This should include the following:
1. The subject network/programme associated with the placement activity;
2. A list of the names and student numbers of students undertaking placement activity;
3. The nature of the placement i.e. duration, location, type of activity, assessed or not assessed;
4. Contact details of placement providers; and
5. Copies of formal documentation, at a minimum this must include a copy of risk assessment documentation and signed tri-partite learning agreement, but may also (dependent on circumstances) include, statements of reasonable adjustments, letters of expectation, copies of insurance documentation and students consent to disability disclosure."

Please could you provide me with the information listed above for the courses noted at your AP. I do not wish to see personal information pertaining to disability and please redact the students' names/numbers.

I do not require contact details for the placements, just their name and location, type of business/organisation, type of placement activity taking place, assessed or not assessed.

Please also provide the name of the course that the placement forms part of, the duration of the placement and the role of the person responsible for the student at the placement location.

Please could you let me know if there is a named individual/s specifically responsible for placement students within your AP and if not who would normally be responsible for placement students on the individual courses/their role.

Yours faithfully,

S A Smith

Dear Moray College,

Please could you give me the information for the current academic year and the previous 5 academic years? Sorry I should have made this clear in my original email.

Dear Moray College,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Moray College's handling of my FOI request 'Information regarding student placements'.

There does not appear to be any information concerning the Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, other than the number of students given in the table in the response letter. I was wondering if this was an oversight? If not, please could you provide me with the information for this course like you have done for the other courses? If you do not hold any information at all pertaining to this course, then please could you confirm that?

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/i...

Yours faithfully,

S A Smith

Dear S A Smith

Apologies, we sent you everything that was provided by the Head of Curriculum for this area but I will go back and check with them, however, as the College is on Summer break it may take slightly longer to provide you with this information.

Kind Regards

Dear S A Smith

I have received a response from the Head of Curriculum with regard to placements for the Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. It has been confirmed that, as students are required to organise their own placements, the College does not hold this information. I can therefore confirm that you have received all the documentation and information held by the College in relation to this Course in line with your request.

Regards

Audrey
