What type of documentation is important for LCVP students during work placements?

During work placements, having a timesheet and a log of activities performed is crucial for LCVP students. This documentation serves several important purposes. Firstly, a timesheet helps students track the hours they have worked, which is essential for understanding the time commitment involved in the placement and for any potential remuneration or academic credits they may receive. Secondly, a log of activities provides a detailed account of the tasks performed, skills acquired, and experiences gained during the placement. This reflection on their daily activities enables students to articulate their learning outcomes when discussing their experience in interviews, evaluations, or coursework.

Maintaining this type of documentation not only aids in the self-assessment process but also enhances the student’s employability by demonstrating organizational skills and an ability to reflect on their work experiences critically.
