Reasonable adjustments

Using this resource may support decision making in relation to consideration of reasonable adjustment. If this is deemed appropriate, you can follow the links below to Reasonable Adjustment in the Practice Setting. This resource can provide you with information to consider as support for the learner.

Fitness to practise

Identifying a fitness to practice issue is acknowledged within the resource, however this has been within the context of deciding if a learner fails to meet the required criteria set within learner’s practice module documentation. Addressing a fitness to practice concern will depend upon the Fitness to Practice Regulations from the learner’s education institution.

Educators must contact the student's education institution as soon as possible as a first point of contact for advice regarding next steps. Educators must document their concerns within the learner’s education institution documentation as well as within direct written correspondence to the HEI. An example of the process is shown below.
