, INTRODUCTION TO THE PRACTICAL EVIDENCE PORTFOLIO
Introduction to the Practical Evidence Portfolio
This Practical Evidence Portfolio is a tool for you to use to record evidence of how you
have improved your skills and developed your health and social care practice for Unit
6: Work Experience in Health and Social Care.
The Practical Evidence Portfolio is designed to help you show that you have
demonstrated good practice. It will help you focus your attention on how important
reflective practice and continuing professional development is to your health and
social care qualification.
This document contains all the information and forms that you need to be able to
evidence your progress throughout your period of study.
The importance of the Practical Evidence Portfolio
By undertaking work placement(s), you will develop effective and informed practice.
The Practical Evidence Portfolio should reflect your experiences and the activities
carried out during your hours of work placement. You should include examples that
demonstrate how you have engaged in continuous professional development and
reflective practice, developing your skills, practical competence and subject
knowledge.
Teachers and work placement supervisors should be fully satisfied that you have met
the relevant assessment criteria before approving this in the progress reports.
To achieve Unit 6: Work Experience in Health and Social Care, your teachers will support
you in collecting the appropriate evidence for your Practical Evidence Portfolio.
