Setting the scene

Firstly, let's remind ourselves of the key tips and actions from Considering what is reasonable and facilitating disclosure.

Key tips and actions:

Ensure you share concerns with appropriate practice colleagues. They will be able to support you and the student if they are aware of the circumstances. Be careful to do this in confidence.


Once you have made an evidence-informed decision that you are working with a learner who is underperforming and you have shared your evaluation with all relevant stakeholders (including the student and the education institution), the next important step is to devise an Action Plan. This needs to be devised with the student, including the educational institution tutor as appropriate (Duffy 2013).
