•Inclusion is: holistic, flexible, proactive, clear.

Pre-Placement Inclusion.Programmes should strive to ensure students:

•have clarity regarding placement expectations and workload, •are offered the opportunity to raise any worries or considerations prior to allocation.

Placement Inclusion:

Programmes should strive to ensure students:

- students have support both within the placement and from the programme, - students are monitored and issues are picked up in a supportive environment.

Inclusion following Placements.

Programmes should strive to ensure students: - are given time and space to debrief.

Seek feedback from providers and students and seek to enhance provision for incoming students.
