range of careers available. To assist young people in their choice of career pathway and as a way of ensuring Cumbria, Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust become an employer of choice for residents within the local community.
1.2 The Trust is committed and keen to support work experience in its wide
range of forms.
Educational visits
Observational / shadowing visits
Work Experience
These opportunities (hereinafter referred to as “placements”) are available for local young people in school year 10+. Due to the increase in the number of schools and colleges wishing to broaden students’ understanding of the ‘world at work’, the Trust will endeavour to provide suitable and practical placements whenever requested.
1.3 At all times the safety and dignity of patients, staff and individuals on
placement will be maintained and appropriate steps taken to ensure all parties are aware of their roles and responsibilities with regards to placements.
1.4 All clinical placements for professional students are separate to this
process. 1.5 Those individuals wishing to contribute their time, energy and skills on a
regular basis, with a minimum of 6 months, as a volunteer should apply via the Trust’s Voluntary Services Co-ordinator for one of the many projects in operation.
1.6 Medical work experience is offered for one week per year and is
organised through the Medical Education Department. 2 Definition of Terms 2.1 Educational visits
These visits will incorporate discussing career prospects with Trust employees, finding out information about their roles including how students can prepare for them. These can take the form of individual visits and open days with a number of Trust employees.
2.2 Observational/shadowing
These visits do not require any active duties with clients but they will observe others in their role.
2.3 Work Experience
For the purpose of this guidance Work Experience in its fullest sense can be defined as a time limited placement, usually 1 day to 2 weeks maximum on Trust premises in which the individual carries out, while being directly observed, a task or duty or a range of tasks and duties.
SLP-PGN-01

This does not include direct personal care of clients. For anyone who requires longer than 2 weeks, the application process will need to be followed using the Student Placement Policy. The Trust will attempt to support work experience which is a requirement of the national curriculum for all year 10 students. This is usually organised by the Careers Service or the individual student.
The placement can be an agreed period of time spent accompanying an appropriate member of staff on a 1:1 basis as they perform their usual working activities to learn about a particular role. Individuals may be given a range of basic tasks to undertake under direct observation/supervision.
3 Procedure / Process 3.1 All students wishing to apply for a placement will be expected to
complete a standard application form and a number of specific forms relating to Confidentiality, Rehabilitation of Offenders and Health.
If a clinical placement is requested then forms should be submitted to:
Work Experience Practice Placement Office Top Floor, The Avenues, St Nicholas Hospital Jubilee Road, Gosforth Newcastle NE3 3XT
If it is a placement in an administrative department the forms should be submitted to:
Vocational training St Nicholas Hospital Jubilee Road, Gosforth Newcastle NE3 3XT
3.2 Practice Placement/Vocational Training will be responsible for confirming
placements with the student, maintaining details of all students on placement, and for processing the initial documentation and collating any follow up documentation completed by the Supervisor. Practice Placement Facilitators will monitor the placement evaluation forms.
3.3 This procedure applies to all wards and departments within the Trust,
although it is recognised that at times due to clinical activity and the nature of the setting, some areas may not be able to accept placements.

3.4 Placements will only be offered to young people of school year 11 and above. Students will only have accessed to placements which have been suitably risk assessed.
3.5 Insurance/Indemnity
The Trust has Public Liability and Employer Liability insurance which covers students who are on placement. Copies of this are available from Corporate Services.
3.6 DBS is not required for work experience students as they will never be
left alone with patients

Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Appendix E- Risk Assessment for placement Part of SLP-PGN-02 – Work Experience V01-Iss3-Nov 2021
RISK ASSESSMENT
Under health and safety law, you must assess the risks to young people on placement, before they start work experience and tell them what the risks are.
You should take into account that young people are likely to be inexperienced, unaware of health and safety risks and physically or mentally immature.
Measures should be put in place to control the risks which will remove them altogether or reduce them to the lowest possible level.
You should keep a record of the main findings of the risk assessment, and let the parents/guardians of any student below minimum school leaving age (16) know the key findings of the risk assessment and the control measure taken before the student starts work experience.
Try to look at the workplace from a young person’s point of view – what dangers will they recognise? Think about their size – will they find their workplace awkward?
In particular, look at:
how the workplace is fitted and laid out
what type of work equipment will be used and how it will be handled
how the work is organised
the need to assess and provide health and safety training
the nature of any physical, biological and chemical agents they may be exposed to, for how long and to what extent
physical/mental abuse from patients
the risks from certain work hazards
