What happens after receiving your Annual Review of Progression outcome?
It all depends on what outcome you get. If you have an outcome that progression is not as expected, the School will organise a support meeting with you and your workplace supervisor to gather more information and to develop an action plan to get things back on track.
If your outcome is satisfactory but you have raised some concerns about the programme or asked specific questions, the School will offer to organise a support call to answer your questions or signpost you to the most appropriate resources.
