Students and Bank Holidays

The position for students is that Bank Holidays are included in the leave weeks in the training schedule. Therefore students do not automatically get Bank holidays off in practice and they can be rostered to work them.

If a student is allocated to an area that is closed on Bank Holidays the Mentor can do one of 3 things.

Plan the students experience hours in order that the student can complete the planned placement hours over the weeks which include the Bank Holiday.

Arrange for the student to undertake a period of experience in another area within the portfolio of learning experience.

Ask the student to undertake some pre-identified work which will be assessed as part of the measurement of the agreed practice outcomes. ( With the Health Visitor this would be the workbook).

Should you receive any queries from your students can you please refer to the information above.
