What do I need to do to pass? (Threshold Expectations from UIF)
In order to pass the assessment, you will need to:

Work with peers as part of a group that reflect a simulated Multi-Agency Team to develop an evidence-based proposed care plan which clearly shows your individual and specific contributions towards the group project (1500 words). You must:

  • Provide evidence of your group and individual research and knowledge, which demonstrates an appreciation of the service-user needs when putting together a relevant care package and planning intended outcomes for the service user.
  • Produce a reflective account of 1000 words using a model of self-reflection, which demonstrates your knowledge and understanding of multi-agency working gained from your experience and research. This must include acknowledging and addressing practice issues in team work; reflection on barriers and how these can be overcome; policy and legislation that inform multi-agency working; organisational and ground level delivery issues; strengths and limitations of multi-agency working and how the experience will impact on your future development.

How do I produce high quality work that merits a good grade?
  • Attending all lectures and seminars/workshops will help as each week is formative and relevant to gaining the knowledge and understanding needed for the assignment. 
  • Active participation in group tasks including case study presentation will facilitate the opportunity for you to use the knowledge and experience from this in your assignment
  • Begin working with your group as early as possible after being assigned a case study as you will begin to share knowledge and get an understanding of the experience of group formation and working together
  • Start researching your role as soon as possible to get an understanding of legislation and role responsibility 
  • Make use of the student study hub as soon as possible, especially if you are not yet confident about academic writing or you need additional study support.
  • Pay attention to the structure of your assignment. Pay careful attention to the assignment brief. Your assignment should have introduction, discussion, and a conclusion and you should have a care plan or action plan that you and your group have developed as a result of working together on your case.
  • Follow the guidelines on BREO regarding Harvard referencing both in your text and construction of your reference list to minimize risk of plagiarism as this does impact on grades awarded
  • Make use of documents and tools made available to you on BREO.
