Your commitment
To ensure Business Interchange meets its objectives and can guarantee the quality of placements, we ask learning and skills providers and participants to agree to certain terms when they register for Business Interchange.
As the key contact for a placement or placements which teachers, tutors or trainers in your organisation participate in, you will be asked to:
- provide the teacher, tutor or trainer with sufficient support and time to undertake their placement and produce their output(s)
- take appropriate steps to ensure the health and safety of the teacher, tutor or trainer whilst on placement
- identify individuals to undertake Business Interchange placements based on individual need, irrespective of disability, gender, religion, race, nationality, age or sexual orientation
- evaluate placements for which you are the key contact, and submit this evaluation to Lifelong Learning UK (using the online placement record)
- undertake an assessment in relation to the proposed placement and certify Business Interchange eligibility only where the proposed placement does meet the criteria
- ensure all necessary information is provided to Lifelong Learning UK by the registration and completion deadlines.
We will also ask you to ensure that the teacher, tutor or trainer agrees to:
- undertake the placement in accordance with a proposal which has been internally assessed by their line manager
- complete an online evaluation of the placement and submit it to Lifelong Learning UK
- develop and submit to Lifelong Learning UK the proposed outputs as identified in the placement proposal
- share the developed outputs with colleagues and peers via the Learning and Skills Improvement Service Excellence Gateway and consider recording their CPD activity via the Institute for Learning.
