Organisational task: Students will make a presentation during the final seminar on 6 November, 2021. The presentation should cover key organisational arrangements, socio-political context and relevant legislative instruments governing the work of the agency. It is to be for 30 minutes.

Reflective journal: An electronic reflective journal must be maintained throughout the internship. It will be available at the Canvas site for this unit of study. It will reflect daily activities and learning across the internship. Final submission of this journal, whihc should be updated throughout the internship, will be on 8 November at 4pm.

Organisational analysis: This assessment will require analysis to be undertaken of the host agency, building on the material presented in the November seminar. It might also include material prepared during the internship for the host organisation. The due deadline for this assessment is 15 November at 4pm.

Placement: You will spend 15 days at the placement site across the semester. This might be a day or two per week or in a block, depending on your availability and the requirements of the host organisation.The site supervisor will have the primary responsibility for your supervision and evaluation at the placement site. Attendance at the placement is both essential and mandatory.

Participation at seminars: There will be two intensive seminars throughout the semester on 31 July and 6 November. Attendance at the seminars is both essential and mandatory. The seminars are designed to promote discussion and reflection on a range of issues that may arise during the course of the placement - for example criminological, professional, ethical and personal issues. You have an opportunity to share your experiences with your fellow students – you share concerns (and joys?) – and you share detailed practical information, so that each student learns something about the other student placement sites and experiences. This is a totally different classroom experience to other subjects. The success of the seminars is largely dependent on your preparedness to give thought to what you want to convey, and your frankness in that communication.

Assessment requirement to pass a unit of study: A student must make a genuine attempt at all assessment tasks set out for this unit of study in order to obtain a pass mark and grade (or above); otherwise an AF (absent fail) grade will be recorded as the student’s result for this unit of study.
