When you start a new placement you will be working with people from all walks of life, and ones that may be very different to your own. In this Quick Guide we look at some different ways you can see the world from the perspective of those you will be working with on placement.

Reflective Questions

  1. Why is important that we try and see things from other people’s perspective?
  2. What else can you do to find out about your placements ahead of time?
  3. Think about any placements you may have been on. Is there anything you wish you had known beforehand that you didn’t?
