Professional practice placement standards
We have worked with the CLD Sector to develop these materials to help support the Professional Practice Placement experience. The standards and templates form part of a full suite of Professional Approval material, along with the professional approval standards and process.
The aim of these CLD professional practice placement standards documents is to clarify roles and responsibilities for all involved in the placement process and promote consistently high-quality CLD practice.

About Practice Placements
CLD Professional Practice Placements require a strong partnership between Student CLD Practitioners, the field of CLD practice and educational providers, and it is important to recognise that the Student CLD Practitioners are instrumental to getting the very best from their own CLD Professional Practice Placement experience. A professional CLD Practitioner must take responsibility for ensuring they gain the opportunity and exposure to enhance their own skills. The templates will help Student CLD Practitioners to focus, and sharing with their Educational Provider and their Practice Placement Supervisor whenever they meet will aid discussions.
Templates for CLD Students, placement providers and educational providers
If you require any of these templates in an accessible format, contact us
For guidance on use and coding of the templates please refer to page 17 of the Practice Placement Standards.
Good luck to our CLD Student Practitioners in their studies. CLD Standards Council looks forward to catching up with Practice Placement Supervisors and Educational Providers to ensure these templates are fit for purpose.
If you are working, volunteering or studying in CLD, read more about registering with CLD Standards Council and take time to encourage fellow students, practice placement providers and educational providers to register.
Once you are making use of the templates and documents, let us know if there is something you think is missing, not clear, needs amended etc. by emailing us at contact@cldstandardscouncil.org.uk.
