 If a trainee is given a grade E (emerging) for an observation, they should be issued with a Targeted Support form.  Please discuss and set specific (and realistic) targets, set a review date and send a copy of the form to Elizabeth Davies. The trainee will be observed on the review date by a member of the Partnership Team.  At the review the SE Tutor and a Locality Assessor will visit to make a judgement about whether the placement should continue. If the targets have not been met, the trainee is likely to fail. If you have any concerns, please act swiftly. If in doubt, contact the SE Tutor or someone in the Partnership Team.
